Re: gEDA-user: Mixed signal plane tie-in

I like to use only a single ground plane for everything. Use moats and thoughtful component placement to isolate the analog/digital and high/low level signals - pretty much what Eric said. gene That's a $64,000 question. Both ways will work if handled carefully, and which one you use

gEDA-user: text in a footprint in pcb

Hi, I have a connector which is a standard footprint, but I want to have text next to each pin saying what it is for. I did this fine by adding text to the layout, but I have to be careful to select all of the text objects as well as the connector when moving it, and I have to redo it for each

Re: gEDA-user: Icarus build problem?

I was on autoconf 2.59, which comes with Centos 4.4. I couldn't immediately find a 2.61 rpm, so I did the AP_CHECK_FUNCS hack, which let everything compile. Steve - just ran my regressions through the current devel code; you can find the results on bugzilla. If you can fix that lot you should

gEDA-user: Export to Orcad?

I'm pretty sure the answer is still, as it has always been, no, but just to check: Can I get gschem to export to Orcad format, or any other schematic format? I need to send my design to the professionals for further work, who of course are not gEDA-friendly. I think it's probably going to come

gEDA-user: Exit on undo

Hi, I flipped the board and started to rout on the reverse side, put the wrong size trace signal and hit u (maybe o) to change the trace to skinny and pcb did an exit. Just reporting in case there is any interest. Regards Ian. ___ geda-user
