I'm curious to know what the not a great reason is. The pinout window uses the same routing to draw the pin numbers. We just need some way of knowing when it's appropriate to grow the silk, and when it isn't, which probably means adding a parameter to all the text drawing routines, or some

I'm curious to know what the not a great reason is. Also, we need to know the difference between copper and silk layers, because the minimum sizes are different for those two. In the future, we'll have assembly and mechanical layers that wouldn't have limits too. Keeping track of which

If I change the footprint to something in John's library (anything, it doesn't matter), the component is processed properly and the footprint is found. So, what causes gsch2pcb to crap out like this? Have you got a file in the local dir called gafrc with contents like: lib-newlib =
