gEDA-user: PCB: connect line to rectangle
Hello, I have some lines that are ground that I am trying to connect to rectangles. If I try to do that, there is space erased on the rectangle surrounding the lines.

Re: gEDA-user: Rect tool (Copper pour) with clearance around traces?
Also, one technique I've been contemplating is to take make a copy of a small area, invert the copper/free space, shrink the widths of the traces in the original area and finally paste back the negative area. Would that be possible?

gEDA-user: Rect tool (Copper pour) with clearance around traces?
Hello, My goal is to take existing traces and fill the surrounding area with copper without having the copper touch the existing traces (i.e. having some clearance). I would like this copper to be attached to ground.

gEDA-user: GSCH2PCB: READ GARBAGE IN
Hello, I am working on a backanotate which takes a .PCB file, sorts the refdes locations, relabels and recreates the .pcb and .sch files, but does not update the nets. When I run gsch2pcb to create the .net file, I get a "Read garbage in" error message. Exactly what causes this error? All I am doing in my program is process line by line the refdes and create a brand new file with the new refdes. As far as I see, the new nets are OK in pcb and I don't see any problems. So, what could cause the error in the gsch2pcb?

gEDA-user: bug found in gsymcheck: device !=filename not flagged
Hello,
I am unsure if the geda-user is the correct list for this. I reinstalled
the lastest knoppix distro and did an apt-get of all the gEDA programs
for capture and pcb. I was running gsymcheck on all my .sym files and
noticed that it does flag the mismatch of device= and the filename. The
release of gysmcheck I used is 20061020-2.
Also, I had an idea of a cool function to add to gsymcheck: to check all
the symbols of a whole directory.
Of course, one could always do something like
find *.sym -exec gsymcheck '{}' \; |grep error
find *.sym -exec gsymcheck '{}' \; >out.txt

You're both right. I removed the attributes to the box and reassigned

I still have that other problem in the gsch2pcb
"Could not find refdes on component and could not find any special
attributes"
"stdin:27: m4: Bad expression in eval: /4"
but it coulld have something to do with pins that have no connections as
revealed by the gnetlist -g drc2 command.
Where do I find the symbol for "no connection" in the Add->component
->library-> menu?

Re: gEDA-user: refdes and footprint not automatic from sym to sch
Werner,
Thanks for your reply. All right, here's one of my symbols that does not
have the automatic refdes and footprint. It is for the 24lc256 serial

Re: gEDA-user: refdes and footprint not automatic from sym to sch
John, It is already enabled in system-gschemrc. (attribute-promotion "enabled") I am getting a somwehat additional error. I put all the refdes and footprint attributes manually, pass through refdes_renum and when I do gsch2pcb I get a single: "could no find refdes on component and could not find any special attributes!" followed by a ton of: "stdin:27: m4: Bad expression in eval: /4" My setup is a Knoppix live CD. My schematic is frank/geda_pcb/cti.sch, my symbol components are in frank/gEDAfrank, Any ideas? I list my config files that I created in the design file directory. (The .log files confirm that they are read). I did not create a PCB file or .inc file yet.

Hello, I created various symbols and saved them in the .sym file format with the name-1.sym convention. They were created having 4 attributes: refdes, footprint, description and device. When I place the components in a brand new design.sch file, for HALF of them, the footprint and refdes dissapear and I must add them manually. I can't figure out why.
