gEDA-user: PCB: sudden segfault problems

2008-02-04 Thread Richard Rasker
Hi all, I'm using gschem + PCB (version 20070208) for a project with some 150 components on a 100x160 mm single-sided circuit board. There are several polygons, a few (locked) mounting holes, and a fair number of user-defined footprints. Up until today, PCB was rock solid, but out of the blue,

I did grep -Ri vdd * in the base directory of symbols. I noticed the net=Vdd thing, but in connection with something weird in 4000/. All of these symbols include a net=VDD:?? statement. Does anybody use 4000 series CMOS anymore? But no matter. these net= callouts are attaching the net

In recent PCBs, there are settings to force the crosshair to ignore all text, or ignore everything except text. Is there a gui click or is it a command to enter? Regards Ian Menu option. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org
