Re: gEDA-user: Restrict facility?

You might want to take a look at FreePCB. This is a Windows based PCB layout tool that interfaces to an autorouter which does support keepout regions for the router. www.freepcb.com Rick At 09:47 PM 11/9/2010, you wrote: I am looking at migrating from Eagle to PCB and thus am a complete ne

> a) There is no such facility. This one. We've been talking about a redesign to pcb's internals that would allow support for this, but at the moment, we don't have it. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin

gEDA-user: Restrict facility?

2010-11-09 Thread Cam Farnell
I am looking at migrating from Eagle to PCB and thus am a complete newbie to PCB, although an old hand at printed circuit boards. Eagle has a facility, both in component packages and on the board, where you can create rectangular areas that are "no go" for the router. I've spent some time look

Hi, pcb is displaying some annoying dialogs with a "printf" style format string instead of the usual log message window I am used to seeing. I can't figure out how to turn off these dialogs, of which several pop up at startup and then whenever a message would be logged. See the screen capture co

gEDA-user: Using the Scheme API: an example!

2010-11-09 Thread Peter TB Brett
Hi folks, Here's a nice example of what can be done with the Scheme API even in its incomplete state. The attached plugin for gschem improves on gschem's built-in code for selecting a whole net (double-clicking on a net) by recognising and following "netname=" attributes. [1] To run it, check ou
