gEDA-user: unusual feature in pcb

2009-03-30 Thread andrew whyte
Dear all, A while back I posted a question about a feature in pcb whereby vias spontaneously appeared in pads of my components. It happened to me again, and I found a way to reliably cause it. It seems to happen when rats are optimized on a board with some nodes connected to a plane.

gEDA-user: stretching components

2009-03-30 Thread richard.b...@blueyonder.co.uk
Hi I used PCB for the first time today, and I needed to alter the distance between pins on a 2 pin through hole device, a large capacitor. I found in the gEDA section of the component lib that the largest was 1, 1000 mil. Is there aa simple way of dragging the pins a bit further apart, or does

gEDA-user: space in attribute

2009-03-30 Thread Levente Kovacs
Hi all, Today at my day job, I made gnetlist to do segmentation fault. I provided a schematic with an attribute with a space as the first character of its value. I know one should not do such thing like that, but I guess libgeda should print some error message, like garbage in file, or

gEDA-user: Saving vdb in rawfile output in ngspice

2009-03-30 Thread Yamazaki R2
Does anybody know a way to save the vdb of a node when using the .SAVE command in ngspice and outputing a rawfile? When I .save vdb(node) it saves it as v(node) instead, but only in rawfile does this happen. If I use -o and get an ASCII table output it uses vdb(node) correctly. Is there anyway

Hi all, still working on the pcb-gpmi plugin, I was wondering... Currently the plugin requires the user to have PCB sources somewhere around because it uses the header files. I think this is bad for the user of binary distributions, who may decide to (or need to) install the plugin from source
