Re: gEDA-user: mirrored footprint

2010-11-25 Thread Jan Martinek
I am missing the reason you must mirror the footprints, however. Aren't the pins still in the same orientation they would be with the standard footprint? Since your DIP packages are mounted in the normal-side-up orientation, it seems the pins should be in the right order, unless you have placed

. But it is workaround only. It would be fine to have such option for all footprints. Regards, Jan Martinek ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

do whatever you like - mirror the PCB, do some post-processing (try ungroup before), add text, logos, cutting guidelines, place several PCBs on one page etc. Jan Martinek ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi

the same bug in toporouter? I suppose that if Anthony Blake finishes his toporouter someday, all effort for improvement the default autorouter may be pointless. Toporouter's algorithm is really better, but there are failed asserts sometimes. Jan Martinek

gEDA-user: Unresolved rat lines, zero-ohm resistor, wire bridge

2010-10-16 Thread Jan Martinek
. The best solution (for me) would be #3 if: - the number of vias would be as small as possible - vias should be in pairs so that the wire connects exactly two. Or this: - if some rat lines cannot be solved, make a pair of pads (or pins) for them. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you very much, Jan

into reducing rat lines. One example: I had six unresolved rat lines. I added six resistors into appropriate places in schematics. And, voila, I ended up with _nine_ unresolved rat lines and almost no traces went underneath the resistors. The autorouter did not find the solution. Jan Martinek On 10
