2007-07-31 Thread DJ Delorie
When an two-pin element is mirrored to the other side, it would be nice if the pins stay in the same spot on the board, regardless of the element's orientation (currently, the pins get swapped if the element is vertically-oriented). Likewise, when a selection is mirrored to the other side, it's m

Just checked these in, some of them correspond to sourceforge tracker bugs, but I haven't annotated those yet. Feedback on the new drill helper and the "swap active when swap board, even when both visible" change (before, it only swapped if the back side layer was invisible). ps, gerber - don't

This is an interesting point. Actually I haven't touched the footprint doc in over 2 1/2 years, and a lot of the info is therefore likely outdated. I've never been a fan of the PCB manual since it is over 100 pages of hard to read verbiage with no screenshots (just IMO). Newbies probably find

The description of ElementArcs in footprint creation guide is misleading. In current pcb measurement of positive values for angles is counterclockwise as stated in pcb-documentation. Wrong: http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/land_patterns_20050129.pdf StartAngle Starting angle of arc – measured in deg
