gEDA-user: No Diode in PCB?
Is there no diode in the default PCB symbol directories? Thanks, Chris Maness ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

I don't know what footprint you need: diodes often use footprints similar to other devices (and I don't use pcb). You can find lots of symbols and footprints at gedasymbols.org.

Search in PCB for ALF. That is what I use for threw hole diodes. On Fri, Apr 2, 2010 at 2:45 PM, Chris Maness ch...@chrismaness.com wrote: Is there no diode in the default PCB symbol directories?

Oh yea I have my own diode symbols I use with it just to avoid issue. Sorry.

But BEWARE... the ALF diodes have a different idea of anode and cathode numbering to the geda-symbols shipped diode-1.sym and diode-2.sym! If you use diode-3.sym in the schematics, all should be well - but make sure you double check by showing the invisible text - or opening the symbol (Hierarchy menu - Down symbol) and checking the pinnumber attributes on the pins as compared to the footprint you intend to use in PCB. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
