Hello everybody, I am working on creating a first layout from a schematic, and am running into problems. I created a schematic called "TrialLayout.sch", and have used gsch2pcb version 1.0 to create the board file. I am following the wonderful instructions written by Bill Wilson, available at:
http://web.wt.net/~billw/gsch2pcb/tutorial.html (Thank you Bill for the outstanding contribution!!!!!) When I run pcb on the resulting board by saying "pcb TrialLayoutBoard.pcb", I get a pop-up box with the following error: ERROR parsing file 'TrialLayoutBoard.pcb' line: 66 description: 'parse error' Line 66 is immediately after this section of the board file: Element(0x00 "0805" "Rload" "10k" 140 0 3 100 0x00) ( ElementLine(0 0 0 90 10) ElementLine(0 90 120 90 10) ElementLine(120 90 120 0 10) ElementLine(120 0 0 0 10) Pad(28 28 28 62 36 "1" "1" 0x100) Pad(92 28 92 62 36 "2" "2" 0x100) Mark(28 45) ) --> Line 66 is here. I don't see any problems with this stuff like unmatched parens, unless all the \n characters are giving PCB an upset stomach. I have placed my .sch, .net, and .pcb files at: http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/PCB/ I would be very appreciative if somebody could take the time to look at them and tell me what I have done wrong, if anything. Thanks! Stuart p.s. The schematic, TrialLayout.sch, doesn't necessarily implement any function intelligently; I "borrowed" the page from a larger project and munged around with it to create a learning vehicle for PCB.
