Thanks DJ. I will look into this. If I go the scripting route would
Python be ok? For the plug-in route are there some pointers to show how
to go about creating a plug-in?

Hi Folks,
Does anyone know if there is a way to import a board outline defined in
an emn file into PCB? The emn file is produced by ProEng 3-D CAD tool
and it seems quite simply structured. I have attached it below ...

I typically deal with this by separating the planes at the schematic
level using a bead-core inductor. The two planes are then on different
nets at the PCB level. This not only makes it easier to do the routing
but they also serve an electrical purpose of isolating the two planes
from a high
Hi Guys,
PCB is detecting a syntax error in my .pcb file and failing to open it.
The output from PCB Log is as follows...
Looking for default_font in .
Can't open ./default_font for reading
Looking for default_font in /usr/local/bin/../share/pcb
Found default_font in /usr/local/bin/../share/pcb
Thanks
This is a fresh pcb file created using gsch2pcb i.e. I have not
intervened in any way. Is there something that could be wrong with the
schematic to cause this? The pcb file generally looks quite jumbled with
Element definition not all in one place.

Yes that's exactly what I did. I had previously viewed a footprint in
PCB in order to measure its dimensions and then I must have
inadvertently saved it, which turned it into a PCB file.
Thanks for the help in getting to the bottom of this.

I have a 10 layer pcb that I have just completed routing. I need to
create a board outline with some notches etc and when I try to add an
extra layer for the outline I can not, as I am maxed out at the 16 layer
limit (i.e. 10 routing layers + silk + rats + pads + vias + far side +
solder mask).

Hi Guys,
Just curious if this is a new feature or a bug...
When I connect a net to a ground plane. Subsequent Optimize Rats Nest
executions show all pins/pads connected to this net as a circular rat
line over the pad/pin.
It seems like a cool feature (avoids rats nest clutter) but I have never
Nice.
I normally would not have even questioned if it was a bug but I am (for
the first time) running a new version I have compiled from sources.
I must say that the more I use this package; the more impressed I become
with the quality of the tool and the support community.
Great job!
On Tue,
with skin, why not put an insulator on the back of the board? There are
various types of tapes and even sprayes that can be used to encapsolate
one or both sides.

Hi all,
I have an application where I am creating a small PCB as the basis of an
active electrode. The non-component side of the board is in contact with
skin and exposed vias on this side of the board therefore must be
avoided. In the previous generation of the design, the circuit was
simple
Wow that's impressive !! A workaround and a fix all within a day. Thanks
guys.
Any idea when the next snapshot will be available with this fix?

Is there a way to create circular PCBs in gEDA? I tried adding connected
arcs to the outline layer but these are ignored as it seems to require
connected straight line segments.
