gEDA-user: How to change the length of multiple nets at once?

2006-08-10 Thread Patrick Doyle
Even as I wrote the question, I came up with one answer, but I'll ask the question nonetheless. I have a schematic with a bunch o' nets that go from one sheet to another. I simply copied them from various places on sheet 1 and pasted them on sheet 2. Now I see that they are not all the same len

1. Draw the bus 2. add one net to the bus 3. add the netname attribute to the net using a wildcard e.g. netname=A? 4. (optional) edit the label properties (alignment, textsize, ...) 5. copy the net (with label and busripper) as many times as you need 6. mark all netnames 7. use the attribute --> a

Hi! There's a typo in symbols/micro/ATmega8-1.sym: "(RESET) RC6" should read "(RESET) PC6". I've attached a patch. CU Sascha -- http://sascha.silbe.org/ --- /home/sascha/src/geda/eda/geda/gaf/symbols/micro/ATmega8-1.sym 2004-12-28 07:59:40.0 +0100 +++ ATmega8-1.sym 2006-0

To use such a bridge I would add the zero ohm resistor into your schematic. This will break the net into two nets. It will also reduce confussion when some one else later on is trying to debug the board. Also add a text note into the schematic explaning why such a resistor is there. Steve Meier O
