Re: gEDA-user: gschem: Adding net names to a bus

 tonight?

O.k. I've tracked the behaviour.

If you attach the first net to the bus, there's a variable set to the 
bus object called ripperdir.

If you have a vertical bus and you connect your first net to the upper 
half, the busripper is drawn below the net.
If you draw the first net into the lower half, the busripper is drown 
above the net.

If you have a horizontal bus, the same applies to left and right.

See documentation -- file format -- bus, for the variable.
And o_net_add_busripper() in file gschem/src/o_net.c for the decision of 
the ripper direction.

regards
Werner

gEDA-user: finding out what an instance is

2006-08-11 Thread Dan McMahill
ok, stupid question here.  I open up a schematic, find some symbol and I 
want to know what symbol it is.  Is there a way short of doing 
hierarchy-down symbol?


Thanks

left-click to select it, right-click and select down schematic is 
another way to do it. HTH.

Re: gEDA-user: How to combine small pcb-boards to one big one

2006-08-11 Thread DJ Delorie

 To get a good price from my  pcb manufacturer I will combine two 
 different small pcb boards to one larger one. (I will send 
 gerber files to  pcb fabricator.) How can I do this?

Make sure they both use the same layer groupings, i.e. so you don't
end up putting the top of one board on the bottom of the other.  Open
one project, increase the board size.  Then:

File-Load layout data to paste buffer

And paste the other board in the new space.

A fresh snapshot of pcb would be nice, so maintainers of Debian 
packages and Gentoo ebuilds can update their packages.




It's on my list for hopefully the next week or so.

 When I sent my first geda board to Basista, they complained about
 duplicate layer names

I've since fixed that.
