Re: gEDA-user: PCB - How To Find A Component?
*Scrolling* to the selected part would be easier, and could be done as a plugin.

I'd avoid my master branch for any real work (I do), since it introduces non-compatible behaviours without any changes in file-format.. IE.. will produce PCB files which won't work properly in other PCB versions, but with no version number or syntax changes to hint the problem.

gEDA-user: PCB | how to update the pcb, if a change is made to the schematic?
Hello Fellows, I am a new user of gschem and pcb. I have a question to which I have searched the archives, but come up empty handed. ** In the PCB, is there a command to move components to a specific x,y location? ** After starting on the PCB, I have to make a change to the schematics, is there a way to update the pcb file? Without affecting placement or All routing? If a email thread has covered this already, would you mind sending me that link. Thank you, I truly appreciate any help on this. === running gschem and pcb on Mac OS X === // Sal Aguinaga // Northwestern University ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

No. (This is one of my favorite feature requests) ** After starting on the PCB, I have to make a change to the schematics, is there a way to update the pcb file? Without affecting placement or All routing? Yes. 1) Save the current state of the layout in pcb. 2) call gsch2pcb with the changed schematic 3) If you changed connections, an updated netlist will be produced. If you changed the value of components, they will be updated in the pcb file. If you removed some components, they will be deleted in the pcb file. If you added some components, a file $NAME_new.pcb will be produced. This file contains all the footprints of the added components. 4) In pcb do a) File - Revert(if the changes affected the layout) b) File - Load_layout_data_to_paste_buffer (to put the new footprints somewhere on the layout with the buffer-tool) c) File - Load_netlist_file (if connections were changed) The tool xgsch2pcb reduces these steps to a single mouse click. ---(kaimartin)--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key:http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmkop=get ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

gEDA-user: fyi: program to enter spreadsheet contents into a Digi-Key web-order
Hi All, I wrote this script yesterday as I needed to enter ~200 parts into Digikey, and didn't want to make any mistakes. It reads in a CSV file, establishes a TCP connection with the Digikey ordering web server, and repeatedly POSTs the quantities in your spreadsheet onto the active server pages. If the minimum quantities are not met for any of your items, it will first guess the next multiple of 10, and if that does not work, it will ask you for the quantity. Digikey's webserver occasionally balks under the torrent of POST and GETs, in which case you'll have to kill the script, start a new web order, and try again. hope this is useful to someone other than myself.

Re: gEDA-user: fyi: program to enter spreadsheet contents into a Digi-Key web-order
You know, you can just upload a CSV spreadsheet to Digikey's master ordering module. My BOM scripts export the .csv file, I just send it to them and it orders everything on the list. I don't know how (or if) you'd do it without logging in, but when you do log in, just use Order File Upload. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
