Hi, press the i - key or use the menu 'Window'-'Library'. Kind regards, Felix Am 04.01.2011 22:09, schrieb Rob Butts: Hi Guys, I started working on another project where I'm back using gaf.

Re: gEDA-user: Reacquainting to geda and pcb
Thanks! So if I use a 1206 smt component I should set the footprint value in gschem to smt1206 or smt1206.ele?

Generally use the file name, .fp can be missing. So 1206 or 1206.fp may be fine -- I use 1206. Of course these files should be in your library.

Re: gEDA-user: Reacquainting to geda and pcb
So you should have a .fp text file in a library for each footprint used in a design? If that's the case what are all the components in the pcb designer library and how are they used (not being wise, just wondering)?

For the newlib footprint format each footprint is indeed an own file, and generally newlib is recommended. For oldlib/m4 footprints are generated at the fly by calling macros -- I think it it mentioned in the wilson tutorial and maybe in the PCB documentation. I have only used m4 when I started with PCB years ago, now i am using only newlib, have forgotten all about m4, sorry. http://www.delorie.com/pcb/docs/gs/gs.html http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:gsch2pcb_tutorial ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
