It appears that "thermal" is not supported by ChangeFlag (and SetFlag, which calls it). I believe this is a documentation bug. Instead try SetThermal(SelectedPins, 1) (the numbers 1,...,6 give different styles, and 0 means no thermal). -- Andrew Poelstra Email: asp11 at sfu.ca OR apoelstra at wpsoftware.net Web: http://www.wpsoftware.net/andrew/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
