gEDA-user: [PATCH] allow empty pinlabels in tragesym

2011-04-20 Thread Stefan Tauner
there were no DIP .syms available so i created some with tragesym (there are probably better ways to do that. please name them! :) my version of tragesym did not cope well with empty pinlabels. patch attached. -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner --- tragesym-old 2011-04-20

gEDA-user: PCB nanometer conversion

2011-04-20 Thread Andrew Poelstra
Hey all, I am just finishing up a busy semester (last of six exams is tomorrow) and am available to work on pcb again for the next little while. According to my git branch, last I worked I was playing with converting pcb to use nanometers as its base unit. We had a long discussion about this

gEDA-user: Dispersing updated new elements -- question

2011-04-20 Thread Richard Rasker
I'm currently in the middle of a largish project, involving several hundred elements and some 1,500 connections, still using a rather older version of PCB (20080202) -- so far, it served me well. It so happens that on several occasions, I changed the footprint of several dozen components at once

Nanometers is the desired units. Yes, you're limited by default to a seven foot wide board on 32-bit systems. Oh well, use a 64-bit type for something that huge, if you can find a fab that can make it :-) No, no real progress lately. If you want to help, the most important thing you can do is

Re: gEDA-user: Dispersing updated new elements -- question

2011-04-20 Thread DJ Delorie
I can't help but wonder if there's a better way to do this? Update to at least pcb-20100929 and use File-Import instead of gsch2pcb. It can bulk-update footprints without moving the element or its refdes. ___ geda-user mailing list

1. I am bumping up against the MAX_* constants, specifically MAX_GRID, but they're all too small now. Nanometers are much smaller than 1/100 mils. Why are these there and what can I do about them? Most of the limits are artificial. See if they can be removed. 2. What
