Maybe it is, there's so many little things people want that we few
developers just don't have time to work on them all. Give it a try,
maybe you'll succeed. You certainly won't succeed if you *don't* try.

Go ahead.

Seriously?
gEDA can't draw circles?
I think the first thing before this discussion gets out of hand is to
asap add clicking x/y to set center and clicking again to set radius
or just popping up a dialogbox to set radius/correct XY after one

By the way, there was a nice patch by you for gschem, that creates a new

Does this mean I need to upgrade from 2.10 ?

Does the attached patch inspire anyone to have a play and improve it?
I've knocked it together as a proof of concept. The APIs used were
introduced in GTK 2.12 unfortunately (I didn't see much point writing
new code using the old deprecated APIs which weren't as useful).
The patch works, but prob

Like I said before, at this point in time it is still lacking important
features. E.g. there is no support for drilling holes. New primitives are

FWIW QCad has 3 pimary arc creation modes:

Sorry -- of course we have silk arcs in footprints, but currently we
have no copper arcs.

I meant: everything that supports arcs, supports angles other than 90.

Not everything -- I think silk or copper arcs are not s
Does anyone know why there is no button or menu command to create a
full circle in PCB? I know that the file format actually describes arcs
as fractions of a circle, and that it can just as easily be a 360
degree fraction as the 90 degree limit imposed by the GUI. But when
making foo
Everything in pcb supports non-90 arcs, except for the ability to
create them. Someone needs to come up with a friendly way to
create/edit arcs that aren't 90 degrees, that's all.

This patch works beautifully. I tried it out with the font scaling set
to 1.0 and 1.3 and the result was consistent line spacing

So these footprint fiducials are outboard of the part so they show in a
vision system as the part is being placed? Do you put silk outline outside
them or some silk circles around each one
