gEDA-user: PCB - grid dots not visible when board is flipped.

2007-02-01 Thread KURT PETERS
I'm sure someone else has noticed this. I'm using one of the latest CVS releases (December-ish) and noticed that the grid dots only show up on one side of the board. Does anyone else notice this? Is this on the bug list? Regards, Kurt ___

gEDA-user: PCB - Rectangle/Polygon on pad

2007-01-28 Thread KURT PETERS
I am trying to draw a rectangle that directly connects with a pad. Unfortunately, PCB puts a keep-out region around each pad, forcing me to go back and draw a line around the pad to fill in the space. Is there a way to temporarily turn off the clearance around a pad? I tried SHIFT-K and the

David, this is way off topic. But I noticed that your traces seem to change sizes at the silk-screen for the Brown ones (Vcc Comp). Is there any particular reason that you do that? Regards, Kurt ___ Message: 3 Date: 11 Jan 2007 23:52:17 +0100 From: David Kuehling [EMAIL

DJ, It seems that you are advocating for all newlibs to be in a personal library. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but that kind of would destroy a naming convention or two (hyperbole), unless gsch2pcb and pcb really get the prioritization right as you suggested, possibly using

Re: gEDA-user: good idea - bad idea ?

What, exactly, does this mean? Bad idea, since we're planning on moving the M4 step to build time in the future, making every footprint a newlib style. Some of the M4's are not-so-great, so if this means that the M4's will be converted to newlib, thus essentially forcing users to use the
