Re: gEDA-user: PCB file parsing library

2010-05-19 Thread DJ Delorie
I think we'd always wanted a footprint editor to be a mode in PCB, not a separate utility. That gives you all the HID graphics, editing tools, and support libraries built-in. File-Open-footprint edits the footprint, File-Open-layout edits a board. Or right-click-on-element then edit element to

gEDA-user: pcb 45 degree angles

2010-05-19 Thread gene glick
My 45 degree routes don't always make straight lines. There's a very slight jog in them. Usually, this happens if the route stopped, and then I added to it. I don't know if that makes much sense, but if it does, is there a way to clean that up? I can post a picture of it, if needed. gene

If you want to manually do all your 45's, use the '/' key to switch to X mode (not \_ or _/ or *). Otherwise, PCB makes all connections with a pair of lines (one |-, one \/) which is normally needed when not all the pins/pads are on the same grid.

When this happens to me it is caused by not starting on the end point. Sometimes, especially with 45 deg traces, the end point can be a little tough to select. Also if you have changed to a coarser grid it can be more difficult to hit the end point. (* jcl *) -- Closed Tools + Open Files !=

gEDA-user: new user, new parts

2010-05-19 Thread jbump
I've recently started using gEDA after years of work with altium, cadence, pads, et alia: they're what I'm paid to do at work, but I'm enjoying working with gEDA. So, howdy. I've been making parts for projects. I have a handful of symbols here:
