Can you remove all other objects from that board and post it here?
I added the file with one element added with gsch2pcb and one added manual.
If I set settings-lock names I could rotate the element if the name
is visible. If silk layer is switched of, I could not rotate the element.
Switching settings-only names on or off has no effect.

gEDA-user: pcb: moving components to other side

I guess you move the mouse pointer over the element and press B key? This seems to flip the part relative to the mouse pointer for vertical position. But relative to center of element for horizontal position. No idea why. OK, you may have selected the element first and used SHIFT B to flip. Seems to be a mirror operation relative to the center of the board? maybe, but this is not what I need ;) and I think, to flip the parts around a middle line or the center of the board is not really what a user want. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

I agree :-) But is it not a typical work flow to first move and rotate the parts, do the layout and after that move the labels around?

Re: gEDA-user: could not connect nets gschem/gsch2pcb/pcb
Having multiple netnames should not be a problem and work sometimes. Methinks that having multiple netnames for the same net should ALWAYS trigger a DRC error. For connecting different nets there must be a schematic which connects the nets. Why should manual connecting nets be an error? I often have vcc, 5volts, analog voltages and maybe others which I must connect. Changing the schematics which I use more then in one design is not a solution. Sometimes vcc goes to +5V, sometimes to +3.3V, sometimes analog voltage for an opamp is the +5volts and vcc, sometimes I have a seperate 12V net. This is simply wired on a extra schematic. This is the only solution I know. If connecting nets should be an error, what is your (the list members) prefered solution for this kind of workflow?

Re: gEDA-user: Shall we use letters (i.e. E, C, B ) for transsitor pin names?
Hi, I use pin names for transistors in gschem and pcb. This makes it possible to use different footprints with one! symbol in gschem. Changing from TO92 to TO220 will result in wrong connection with the standard numbers. And I also can give a string with the footprint like BCE if I need different pinout for a special TO220 device if needed. If parameter is not given it defaults to the normal pinout. I can spend the m4 makros if needed. Hello, I have read that we can use single letters like C, E, B as pin names -- this makes it simpler to assign the correct footprint to a symbol. On the other hand, default geda/pcb symbols/footprints seems to use digits. What is your advice? Is there a fixed correlation between numbers and letters, i.e. B = 1, ...

In one That is the problem. Make your symbols netname free. One net should have just one name. Otherwise your netlister just can't figure out what the real name of your supply will be. Having multiple netnames should not be a problem and work sometimes. Actually I worked arround that problem while renaming one net to 4th name( PLUS_). The warning is still there, but all nets are now connected. The job for the software is still simple: collect all connections for all nets which are interconnected in one list with one of the net names (simply the first name :-). Thats all and this should not result in redesigning symbols. And yes, I have own symbols which use net attributes to connect default nets to sub-schematics. As I think, there is simply a bug inside the netlister?! schematic I use 3 times output-2.sym with the attatched net=PLUS5V:1, net=Vcc:1 and so on. And normaly I want simply that these nets will be connected and whithout a warning :-) Yes, we all do. But there is a law goes with computer world: Computers are working according to their software, and not according to our thoughts. But don't panic, I don't want to let you down. Which AVR symbol are you using? I have atmega8, and atmega16 off the shelf. I use AT90S8515_DIP.sym which is really a bit terrible, because it is not possible to use another footprint like smd or plcc or something else. This is the old discussion of using numbers, meaing a pin sequence, not logical pins. If using logical pins, maybe with names like PD0..PD7 and so on, we would be able to use all footprints with one symbol. I did this work for transostors for me, because I would not change my circuit only while having an other package. But this is another topic :-) Regards, Klaus ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

I modify src/pcb-menu.res and
look for these two lines:
{ 25 mil checked=gridsize,2500 SetUnits(mil) SetValue(Grid,2500)}
{100 mil checked=gridsize,1 SetUnits(mil) SetValue(Grid,1)}
Then I insert the correct code for 50 mils between those two.
You don't need to recompile, You just have to put that in your ~/.pcb
and edit your ~/.pcb/settings to point at it (change the pcb-menu
line and uncomment it).
My pcb version takes /usr/local/share/pcb/gpcb-menu.res. I changed the
line and 50mil is available. Great!
What is the difference for pcb-menu and gpcb-menu?
Thanks

I don't see why that option should have been removed. Would whoever took it out please put it back? Yes, I need it also! That is my most important grid. I have actually both versions installed while 50mil has gone :-( I have no idea how normal DIL routing should work without 50mil... wondering... ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
gEDA-user: file format of pcb-files needed
Hi, I am searching for a description of file formats used by pcb. Especially a description of library files (m4) and the elements there like Elements, Via, Arc, Mark and so on. Thanks ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
gEDA-user: Missing the printable docs for gschem
Hi, I am searching for the documentation of gschem and especially for creating subcircuits with geschem. I need a subcircuit 16 times on a pcb, so I want to use that feature. Long time ago I have used it, but could not find any documentation anymore. All what I found is the geda-wiki which contains a lot of dead links and circular links to it self but not the information I need. And yes, I want it in a printable version like pdf or ps. Yes, here are two questions: 1) where is the printable documentation gone 2) how to create subcircuits for gschm-pcb toolchain.

Re: gEDA-user: CD Rom Images
Hi Peter, I installed now git and want to get the last release of the gEDA suite. Is there one release tag for all components? Could I checkout with one command all last releases? Sorry, I have no idea which structure you have in the projects so I have to ask. And I have never used git before. Only cvs and svn on my desk until now:-) If there is one checkout command for all last stable versions, please give me a hint! Thanks!

Getting all sources manually is a hard job :-) I'm not sure about the CD, but if you want bleeding edge (or any release you care), you could checkout over the net from our source-code repository.. git clone git://git.gpleda.org/gaf.git There is a toplevel makefile which you can use to build all of gEDA (much faster than having to ./configure and make each of the 8-10 or so subdirs worth of release tarballs.) If you aren't developing (for which you'd want to ask git to make a branch), you can just checkout a particular release: e.g. cd gaf git checkout 1.2.0-20070902 (or git checkout master to get back onto the local branch created during checkout). git fetch will retrieve code-changes from the server, and git pull from your master branch should merge them into anything you've committed. (Actually, it will probably do the fetch for you too). Best wishes, ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
