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).

I added 50 mil grid settings to the two menu files. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

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...
You can do :SetValue(Grid,5000) as a workaround until it's changed, or you
decide to set up your own .res...
Looks like DJ changed it in Mar 2006 with the HID checkin. It definitely
wasn't in 20070208, I just checked the tagged revision (assuming you mean
lesstif hid). Perhaps you were picking up a different res file for a while?
The one I'm using is the 20070208p1-1 version installed by Ubuntu which
was taken from Debian. That one has the 50mil setting. I think I see how
to change things for a custom .deb build. 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. But I'm
looking at the file from the Debian source for PCB that does include 50
mils, but that pcb-menu.res lacks a 50 mil clause as well.

My pcb version takes /usr/local/share/pcb/gpcb-menu.res. I changed the
line and 50mil is available. Great!
