This question has come up in the past. Dig back in the archives and look for a posting from David Rowe. He generated a script which can do footprint replacement in certain situations. It may be available from his web site. I have used it with success with a number of surface mount footprin

gEDA-user: gschem, text alignment mark after rotation of symbols

2007-10-12 Thread Stefan Salewski
I think that the position of the alignment mark of text attributes of gschem is wrong after rotation of the object (and text attribute). I have rotated capacitor-1.sym with visible C? text. Then I added attribute value=100p with has alignment mark at lower left by default. But alignment of C? is w

So I have a 42VDC supply that I want to feed into a linear regulator. But almost all linear regulators want 40V absolute maximum, and the ones that have higher maximums are not reliably stocked anywhere. So I need to drop that down by at least 5V or so. The good news is that I'm only pulling arou
