Hi Everyone
Thanks so much for looking!
My names Mark and I am from Malaysia. Im a newbie and
recent convert to the world of gEDA and have been
really struggling trying to understand it all! I must
have put in about 2 solid weeks of reading most of the
gschem documentation. Slowly slowly I am

Hello, and welcome...
The first thing is that when one looks thru Bill

Hello,
there exists symbols with net attributes which are not
visible/accessible when symbol is inserted in a schematic, for example
net=Vcc:14
Problem: I am using many different positive supply voltages, i.e. 5V and
3.3V. I want that this symbol has 3.3V supply, but I have no Vcc defined

Why not just remove the hidden nets from the symbols? With mulitple
values of Vcc (or GND) the hidden nets create a lot of hidden problems.
Indeed, for symbols created by myself I do not use net attributes for
power supply. I prefer to use visible power pins or to divide larger
symbols into one
The idea is twofold:
1. Create a web-based support bulletin board. This would be a lot
like the e-mail list, except that you wouldn't need to subscribe or
read your e-mail.
2. Put a link into each program's help menu item which would open a
browser up on the support bulletin board page.

You can do either, so long as the pin names in PCB match the

H. OK, I just looked into Launchpad. Looks intriguing.
For many projects I've come
FWIW, somebody already signed gEDA up for a Launchpad acct:

Therefore, it's probably a simple matter of activating the answers:
thingie and embedding a link into each app.

Hello all,
I have a component, and wanted to add a warning text to the silkscreen
layer. I broke the component down, added the text and copied everything
to the buffer. All well till now. I can even past it back to the board.
But when I press 'Convert buffer into element', the text disappears.
But when I press 'Convert buffer into element', the text
disappears. What am I doing wrong here?
Elements don't have a way of storing additional silkscreen text,
sorry.

My main concern is, that somebody will have to watch the launchpad thingy
and answer all the newbie questions. Until there is a user base
comparable with inkscape, this has to be done by developers and long time
users. Is it realistic to do this kind of service in addition to the

After I edit a file with pcb and save, I get a backup with a - (dash)

appropriate?

Thanks for the fast reply, DJ. I have a footprint for RJ45, but it can
be used for connector with top or bottom contacts. I wanted to make two
Elements do have silkscreen, though. I suppose you could use that to
mark the top of the element with something. PCB could, in theory,
explode any silk text into individual elementlines. Ugly but
possible, with some coding.
Or we could have someone add ElementText() to the file format ;-)
