Re: gEDA-user: Enlarged footprints for hand soldering -- name conventions

Hi all, I have the notion that according to the IPC the abbreviation (or general suffix) _HS should stand for Heat Sink requiring additional holes or pads. Kind regards, Bert Timmerman. On Tue, 2007-11-20 at 16:18 -0500, Steven Michalske wrote: When i have made hand soldering pads for QFP

gEDA-user: troubles with new snap-to-pad behavior

I've found a few negatives to the new snap-to-pad behavior (pad snapping beats grid snapping if you are anywhere within a pin/pad): 1) Shift as the override mechanism conflicts with shift for other uses. Eg you want to use shift to change the line drawing behavior and then you can't snap to

Re: gEDA-user: troubles with new snap-to-pad behavior

1) Shift as the override mechanism conflicts with shift for other uses. Eg you want to use shift to change the line drawing behavior and then you can't snap to pads. Or you want to paste a buffer without snapping to the pad, so you hold down shift and oops, that replaces the component!

gEDA-user: Why does DRC check annular ring twice?

The DRC checks the annular rings of vias against both the 'minWid' and the 'minRing'. The rules I'm working with are 6/6 with a 5mil annular ring. I'm working with minimal vias to do routing to a QFP. The DRC notices that all of my annular rings violate the minimum trace width. Why have a
