gEDA-user: Spice files

2008-04-04 Thread Karl Edler
Hello, I have started simulating using ngspice and gEDA. I am quite new to the world of SPICE simulation and am wondering how to find models. I see that some transistor datasheets have the models included and that Analog Devices has a zip file with a large number of their products but I have

gEDA-user: gschem panning oddities

2008-04-04 Thread Kai-Martin Knaak
Just noticed, that gschem panning is a lot snappier if I do a right mouse drag than if I move the scrollbar. How come? Does this hint to some inefficiency of the underlying code? ---(kaimartin)--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog ___

gEDA-user: pcb: loosing the preview...

2008-04-04 Thread Kai-Martin Knaak
While I am busy placing components on the layout of my current project, I sometimes experience a loss of the outlined preview. This affects drawing traces too. Some time later preview is working again. Unfortunately, I could neither figure out what triggers the loss nor how to regain it. Is
