I'd use the PCB GUI: 1) Set the grid to a multiple of the distance of the fingers. 2) Draw track segment with appropriate width on the first layer 3) copy-paste to yield a row of tracks 4) copy the whole row to buffer 5) paste the row somewhere. 6) select the second layer 7) do [m] on all segments of the second row to move them to the second layer 8) move the second row to the same place as the first row 9) Go over all segments with [n] and enter the correct pad number 10) draw the silk 11) copy everything to paste buffer 12) do convert_to_element 13) paste the component somewhere 14) go over all pads with [q] to make them square 15) save 16) run my convenience script set_pinnumber.awk to set the pin numbers to the same value as the pin names. 17) copy component to buffer 18) save_buffer_as from the buffer menu 19) upload to gedasymbols.org Sounds like a lot of work. But it is straight forward. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Email: k...@familieknaak.de Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
