I second Advanced Assembly if you're located in the US. Provisos: if you're supplying parts you need to have *all* the parts, in the correct footprints, and it helps if you label the parts. They'll load from bags (individually) or from reels and are quite flexible: they'd be glad to supply all t

gEDA-user: [PATCH] More accurate description of Select() and Unselect() action

2011-08-01 Thread Kai-Martin Knaak
Hi. Currently, the menu suggests, there is an action "Select all connected items". However, the action called by this menu button is restricted to objects on visible layers. It does not check connectivity but acts on all objects with the found flag set. This is not necessarily the same. Two uncon
