Just my EUR 0.02 I was bitten once by a short because of a wrong layer stack up in pcb. You could check whether an inside layer is on the same side as "[solder, component] side" by accident. See pull down menu: File --> Preferences ... --> Layers --> Groups Kind regards, Bert Timmerman. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
