gEDA-user: Silk text disappears when making a component
Hello all, I have a component, and wanted to add a warning text to the silkscreen layer. I broke the component down, added the text and copied everything to the buffer. All well till now. I can even past it back to the board. But when I press 'Convert buffer into element', the text disappears. What am I doing wrong here? PCB version is 20080202, GTK GUI.

I have a footprint for RJ45, but it can be used for connector with top or bottom contacts. I wanted to make two footprints each with an appropiate text, as I probably won't remember after making a board. I'll put the text on the board manually.

Re: gEDA-user: Silk text disappears when making a component
Elements do have silkscreen, though. I suppose you could use that to mark the top of the element with something. PCB could, in theory, explode any silk text into individual elementlines. Ugly but possible, with some coding. Or we could have someone add ElementText() to the file format ;-) ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
