gEDA-user: Printer calibration issue?

2007-03-10 Thread Jeremy Pedersen
Hello, I am trying to redraw the artwork for a 3.1 by 1.65 printed circuit board in PCB. I am using a background image to help with this process, so I scale the size of the board in PCB to 3.1x1.64 (which obviously also scales the background image) and then draw an outline around this picture

Re: gEDA-user: Printer calibration issue?

2007-03-10 Thread DJ Delorie
To use the background image feature, you must do one of two things: 1. Crop the background image to the exact outlines of the picture of the board. Then, when you set the PCB board size, the picture scales to the same PCB size. 2. Crop the background image to some multiple of the picture
