The schematics printed with gschem used to have a very elegant and polished style. Now, after having upgraded to the latest and greatest version, I notice that graphic lines (including component symbols) are much lighter/thinner than nets, thus degrading elegance and readability. The

Wojciech Kazubski [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I have checked in a patch for this behaviour. Now, the default is to draw lines that have a '0' width as thick as the nets. This behaviour is configurable through the system-gschemrc. Look for the the 'line-style' rc command for the details.

gEDA-user: Mirroring text in geda-pcb

Hi, I am trying to work out the procedure for getting text written (in copper) on the copper side of the board to display correctly. At the moment, it displays with the same orientation as the components, which results in either a mirror image of the text when placed on the copper or a mirror

In PCB it shows the relief around the mask if I use the'k' command. However, when the gerbers are generated there is no relief in the mask around the pads. Bug? Or am I still doing something wrong? From: DJ Delorie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: gEDA user mailing list

My mistake, I thought hitting 'k' once would create the relief. It appears that way in PCB because the via comes to the front even though all you've done is added approximately a tiny diameter relief. But you actually have to hit 'k' X times to get the full relief(just like any other layer

What version of pcb? I thought I added a fix for this, maybe it's just my local copy. FYI my lesstif key mapping is: {Clear Object =10 mil a={K Keyk} ChangeClearSize(Object,=10,mil)} So, *my* 'k' key sets the mask to be 10 mil, which I think means bigger than the object. The whole

Thats what I'm using - it creates text fine, but when I choose View-Enable View Solder Side and then create text the text is created mirrored. It's not enough to see the solder side, you have to be on the solder side. Make sure the solder layer is the current layer, and it may help to Tab so
