Hi all, Having a subscription to Elektor since 1978 or so, I have rarely seen any article based on *nix kind of OS applications. Elektor seems to live in it's own M$ based universe. Most applications (including most firmware), which can be downloaded from the Elektor website, can only be install

Try this patch to panel.pl: - next if /\b(Via|Pin|Pad|ElementLine|Line|Arc|ElementArc)/; + next if /\b(Via|Pin|Pad|ElementLine|Line|Arc|ElementArc|Text)/; The first board is used as a template for the panel, which is probably where the extra text came from.

Unfortunately, this bit me on a board with a top-side ground plane, and I didn't catch it until I got the boards back (1) ... perhaps because much of the erroneous copper was lost in that plane. What I've found - just did a simple test case that shows it - is that if one has a copper legend (text

Hi I've been working with gschem and pcb for several weeks and there are a couple of things that really drive me crazy. 1. Is there any way to keep the pcb.back files from ending up in my home directory. 2. What is the meaning of the number sequence on the backup files. 3. The buildup of the
