gEDA-user: gschem background image

2007-12-09 Thread Greg Cunningham
Hello I have a need to trace a quantity of A1 paper schematics for preservation - a legacy broadcast console. I thought I might be able to photograph them use them as a gschem background, similar to DJs pcb trace. Possible? -- Greg ___ geda-user

gEDA-user: gschem: customizing keymaps

2007-12-09 Thread Thomas Franke
Hi to all, I know that gschem keymaps can be customized by making a copy of the original keymap definition list to my local gschemrc file and edit to my needs. However, can anyone of the scheme experts tell me a shorthand how to change just a single element of that list without the need to

Excellent, a picture really is worth 1000 words. I figured it would be, back when I added the ability for pcb to render its own images for the documentation. Just one grammar update:layer There are two meaning of “layer” in pcb. See “drawing layer” and “physical layer”. meaning should be

gEDA-user: [pcb] how to make pad on two sides, no drill

2007-12-09 Thread Dave N6NZ
I'm looking at incorporating detachable lead frame pins like this: http://www.die-tech.org/dildip.htm in a project. This presents a couple of kinks in PCB. 1) You want a top and bottom pad, with no drill. 2) Both pads represent the same net, but PCB has no knowledge of the connectivity

I've added code to use the RENDER extension to the X server to do some basic alpha blending for the Lesstif HID. Currently you'll see it with non-thin-drawn soldermask view and rat lines. Examples: http://www.ad7gd.net/geda/transmask.png http://www.ad7gd.net/geda/transrats.png

GTK Suggestion: When you're depositing components, you get a wire-frame component. That's fine, but when you leave the canvas, the wire-frame should disappear. As it's currently implemented, the wire-frame is still drawn. If you go to the library and select a different component to
