gEDA-user: How to use common symbols on multiple computers using pcb

2008-10-05 Thread Christian Wolf
Hello to everybody, I am new to gEDA. I was a bit frustrated that I have to draw and install that much symbols and footprints on my own. Now I will have to work on multiples machines (physical different). I have just found out how to get it working that I can share all my self-drawn symbols

It would be fine if current (last used) routing style would be saved in layout files -- otherwise it my occur that wrong but similar routing style is used when program is started again and user assumes last routing style. ___ geda-user mailing list
