gEDA-user: How do I really design footprint with pcb?

2010-11-02 Thread Hannu Vuolasaho
Hi! I got one module from my friend (his design) which has about 50 connectors which can be then soldered to SMD pads. Usually I do this by starting from ready symbol and tweking it with emacs. Unfortunately this time it is too hard. The pads are all over the module with no real

2010-11-02 Thread DJ Delorie
Most of the time, footprints either have all pins or all top-side pads. So, you will be drawing the footprint using only the top (component) layer and may use the other layers for reference. I.e. if your spec has all measurements from a specific point, you could draw two lines on the solder

I was wondering about the referense cross. Like if it was some kind of special symbol or something. Nope, just guides to help you keep track of where your measurements are from. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org
