gEDA-user: centroid file generation
Is it possible to generate a centroid file from pcb for use by a pick and place machine? The pcb manual and various old postings seem to suggest you can, but I can't see how to do it. -- Peter Baxendale peter.baxend...@durham.ac.uk ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Thanks! I'd forgotten the --help and it hadn't occurred to me that it would be a bom option. -- Peter Baxendale peter.baxend...@durham.ac.uk ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
