gEDA-user: Using .global statements in GNUcap and mult transistors

2009-03-03 Thread Yamazaki R2
Quick questions: Why doesn't the .global statement work in gnucap? Do you have to add flags to compile it with that option similar to ngspice? If so how? Another question is when you probe current of transitors with multiple legs, it splits up the current instead of giving you

gEDA-user: gsch2pcb attributes transfer

Is there a (easy) way to get gsch2pcb to insert a different attribute in the Description place holder? Currently it transfers the footprint attribute across to PCB. If I had a stock code attribute, could I place that into PCB's Description field? Thanks, Duncan -- Turn ideas into products -

Re: gEDA-user: gsch2pcb attributes transfer

2009-03-03 Thread Duncan Drennan
If I'm remembering correctly, the transfer of the footprint attribute is used so gsch2pcb can determine when the footprint changed, and it needs to delete / re-add a component. That makes sense. Thanks. ___ geda-user mailing list

In my case, I want different color schemes for 2 and 4 layer boards, for example. If I set up layer groups for filled polygons, I'd want yet another scheme (the m4a-4m board is two layer but eight drawing layers, I used shades of base colors for each type of signal on each layer).
