Hi DJ! very nice work! In the first example (the left one in the web page) I see one pin without teardrop: at the top of the image there are a lot of pins, like a matrix of 3 rows by 9 columns. It's the one in the 3rd row, second column (beginning at the top left). Is there any minimum segment

I was taking apart a remote control toy that I am using a base for an upcoming robot competition. In doing so I noticed that the pcBoard was 'filled' with the PCB traces so that only the required clearance is not copper. I thought this would be really nice to have when I am etching my own

Is there any minimum segment length to be able to add a teardrop? Yes, but I think that case is a bug. It should be able to radius short traces (there are three cases: long trace, short trace, and too-short trace), but there's logic to avoid arcs that end up inside the existing copper (i.e.

Is there an easy way to do it? ie plugin. No plugin. Just make sure the lines/arcs clear polygons flag is always on (or select all and set it), and draw a big rectangle over the board. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org

Hi Adrian, Please do the following test: - Create an empty directory. - Open a shell and go inside that directory. - Place the attached gschemrc into that directory. - Run gschem. - See the gschem's output in the shell. You should see something like this: begin gschem's output Loading

Wow! Combine that with the puller and the traces will start to resemble the old hand-drawn boards. Yeah, I need to work out the last of the bugs in the puller (or talk some math major into helping ;). It wouldn't be so bad if the bugs didn't cause trace scribbles all over the board!

On the sample I have from my cheap-O toy, the traces look like they have been 'ballooned', making a wider trace. We have nothing that automatically expands all traces as much as DRC allows. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org

15 left... If nobody else here wants one, I'll post a message to usenet to sell off the rest. If you want me to hold one for you, let me know. I found some 100k 0201's (marked with orange) left over, so if you're missing the 100k's let me know. Anyone get it working yet? Anyone? ;-)
