-syntax doesn't indicate if the angles are fixed point, one degree resolution or something better (floating-point). is there a better way to represent arcs for pcb? Regards, Mark markra...@gmail -- Mark Rages, Engineer Midwest Telecine LLC markra...@midwesttelecine.com

gEDA-user: gschem rotate symbol 45 degrees

Hi, When drawing a bridge, such as a Wheatstone or full-bridge rectifier, it is traditional to draw the symbols as a 45 degree rotated square. How is this accomplished with gschem? Regards, Mark markra...@gmail -- Mark Rages, Engineer Midwest Telecine LLC markra...@midwesttelecine.com
