Is there a way to clear an area of solder mask other then defining a
ginormous pad and placing it? I've got one of those parts that uses the
PCB ground plane as heat sink. I think I've got a footprint that will
work nicely. It would be convenient if I could create a mask clearing
polygon on
Well, am I feel right, that footprint definition possibilities are so
limited? Would have any drawback of defining every shape as polygon
(copper, solder mask, clearance, etc - even the holes)?

Not at the moment. I had a hack, er, patch to use an antipaste
layer at one point, I might have posted it here. It's just a matter
of drawing an extra layer at the right time.
It would be
Hi Peter,
I tried 1.4.0 version of geda/libgeda and can not reproduce the crash, it seems
that the problem is already fixed. It also seems that gentoo portage mixed up
package versions because it reports 20070526 as most recent - to get the 1.4.0
(20080127) I had to downgrade :-) (emerge
Hi,
It may not usual, but sometimes it is necessary to design special parts
(for example in case of mechanical part necessary to fix by soldering).
I attached a picture, but I'm not sure it is accepted by the mailing
list system.
Is there a way create footprint like this?

You are allowed to have two overlapping pads with the same

You didn't say that was a drilled hole. No, pcb doesn't support
non-round holes.

You can make the L-shape with overlapping pads.
I did not see any drillholes in your picture but you can also
overlay pins and pads.

Sorry, I forget to mention it is a hole part.

You can put pads on either side of the board with SMT parts, but
they're rectangular.
That's what I figured I'd do for now if there wasn't direct support.

So, how is this kind of information (slots, etc) usually communicated to
PCB vendors? I presume it ends up being fed to a CNC router. Can it be
as simple as drawing tracks on a layer and saying don't fab it, route
these paths with a 0.125 router bit?

From what I've heard, yes. There's
