Hard responding after the next couple of irelevent repies... tears in my
eyes from laughing... ok sure we expect the assembly shop to do their
job perfect but they seem to come back with any excuse to justify why
they are late. Uhm I am not sure we are much better with our custimers

For plain circles, smt pads are easier and better.
If you wanted to do a resistive touch sensor with a circle with a ring
around it, you'd do the circle as a pad and a smaller circle (radius
== ring width) beside it. Then, when you lay out the board, add an
arc centered on the big pad, intersect
How about just making a small copper arc with a big, fat track?
Of course, there is no component and footprint this way.

If you just want a round electrode, define your footprint as a single
SMT pad, rounded, with the same width and height. This gives you a
big circle of copper. You can set the mask size to 0 to have it
covered (you don't need electrical connectivity).

I started to create a schematic for a capacitive sensing circuit to be used
in an interface for a project I'm working on. I'm using Quantum's QTouch
QT240 IC. I have yet to use PCB and I'd like to get suggestions on how to
represent the electrodes and their footprints in the schematic.

I like using the other side resistors like caps, there both

That's a pretty strong statement. BRL-CAD has been used with great

You know, I actually rely on that when assembling SMT resistors. After

Reversed polarized cap? Those ones are easy to find upon power up :)
I don't think it is sufficient to rely upon the silk screen to provide
assembly instructions.
For cases like this you really need to provide written assembly
instructions and make following them part of the purchase terms.

OK, really stupid question: is there a "standard" suffix
to use for Verilog include files? I need something different
from .v, so my Makefiles and scripts can tell them apart:
include files don't get listed on the Icarus command line,
even though they are a dependency listed in the Make

I look at design efforts like golf. Low scores are better, but nobody
plays a round with 18 holes-in-one in a row.
