The library department at my company defined a special component for that purpose. We have a 2, 3 or 4 Star Symbol for that. To that symbol a special footprint will be attached where the pins are connected. The component is a smd device and I can place it in the layout at the top or bottom side. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
