One of these days we should just switch to the resource file format and be done with it. Then you could fairly easily (I think) let the current default units basically be set as you go down a tree. I still have layer types megapatch and blind/buried vias on my plate too, I'll probably do

Now, of course, old lex/yacc hands will point out that this kind of communication is dangerous, since the parser looks ahead, The parser looks ahead to scan tokens, which means you need to recognize all the tokens in the parser, not half in the parser and half in the lexer. It will reduce

?? which is what? The format we use for pcb-menu.res and gpcb-menu.res. It's a heirarchical text format with tagging and grouping. Semantically, it's like XML, but without all the heavy baggage that comes with XML. It allows forward compatibility and third-party expansion, is easy to parse,

I've just created a pcb footprint, but gsch2pcb can't find it. I get the error message 1 elements could not be found. And -v -v shows: Searching: packages/custom symbols for CVEXTCONN-1 : SIM-1.sym No : SIM-1.sym~ No :

1. file suffixes aren't magic. If it's looking for CVEXTCONN-1 there needs to be a file called CVEXTCONN-1 available. 2. *.sym are gschem symbols. PCB uses *.fp footprints. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org

For the curious, I just populated two of the three first boards: http://www.delorie.com/pcb/docs/gs/firstboards.html Yes, they both work (that was the whole idea behind making them - make sure the docs teach you something that works :) Still waiting for the four-layer board from batchpcb.

While I've found the autorouter to take some time in the past I now have a problem where it doesn't seem to complete at all, resulting in a program hang. The board isn't very complex, the autorouter doesn't complete in 7 hours on a Core 2 Duo running at 1.2 Ghz. Philipp bar.pcb Description:
