Re: gEDA-user: Several PCB versions on 1 system

Thanks for the replies. Install went quick and easy. But the latest installed PCB program does not read my .gafrc files so does not know my library paths. any one ? grtz Simon - Original Message From: John Griessen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ST de Feber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; gEDA user

I just released this on an older FPGA symbol thread, but thought I should make a new thread as well, as I thought people would like to know about a new pcb land pattern generator (see below). Steve It's on my company website in a hidden directory (you have to know it's there already i

An alternate idea is to get expresspcb's proprietary software, run it, and take a screenshot - and use that as a background in pcb. That is actually what I did, so no problems there. Yes. Note: trust the footprints and the PCB grid to be right; use the photo for placement hints only. Most o
