I'd put the antenna, or at least the short, on a separate layer, in the same group as the normal copper layer. For verification, you can temporarily move the antenna layer to it's own group. Just remember to do the checkout with the correct group assignment. If you get an extra gerber layer for the short, then you know you made a mistake. > > Thanks, > Levente -- Stephan Böttcher FAX: +49-431-880-3968 Extraterrestrische Physik Tel: +49-431-880-2508 I.f.Exp.u.Angew.Physik mailto:boettc...@physik.uni-kiel.de Leibnizstr. 11, 24118 Kiel, Germany _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
