I find this instructive, as some of the "problems" you see are just misunderstandings about how the tools work, indicating that our documentation and/or tutorials need help?

My library has a range of title boxes that are all proportioned the same but various sizes relative to the parts, I just pick the one that fits around the circuit. > 3.

My flow is to run gschem and pcb, and use pcb's importer.

I almost never use cut and paste in PCB, and when I do (usually for moving the whole board around), I use the standard Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V keystrokes. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
