gEDA-user: European symbols?

2010-12-30 Thread Johnny Rosenberg
There are many usable symbols installed by default, but a lot of them, like all the 74-series symbols seems to follow some american (I guess) standard rather than IEC or whatever I'm used to. You know those boxes with characters in them, for example a square box with an sign in it for an AND

gEDA-user: garfc spice files directory

2010-12-30 Thread Oliver King-Smith
Is there a way of specifying where your local spice files are in the gafrc file, so gnetlist can pick them up, without giving the full path for the spice file in your symbol definition? Or do I do this somewhere else? Oliver ___

John, When gnetlist runs, does it assume relative paths from the directory it is run in, or the schematic directory? Can I say file=./spice-dir/opa333.lib in my symbol attributes and have gnetlist navigate to the file? Oliver

Attention pcb-lesstif users: here's a patch that lets you zoom out more than the pcb size! Also lets you pan the board anywhere, not just to the edge of the window (i.e. you can position the edge of the board in the middle of the window now). The 'v' key still zooms to view all and
