gEDA-user: Export to SVG or visio

2010-06-28 Thread Phil Frost
I'm looking for a way to export gschem drawings to a format that a client might be able to edit. Probably they don't have gschem, but some people do have Visio, or maybe Omnigraffle on a Mac. I think either of these programs can import SVG, which might be a better option since it doesn't tie

gEDA-user: simulating power mosfets

2010-03-10 Thread Phil Frost
I'm trying to simulate my first nontrivial circuit with ngspice. The circuit in question is a discrete MOSFET driver. I wasn't able to find any spice models for the power MOSFETs I'm using (Ixys IXTP200N055T2), but I was able to find something from Fairchild for a similar device, FDP032N08. The

gEDA-user: Filled arrows in gschem

2010-03-08 Thread Phil Frost
I've noticed in my version of gschem (1.6.0.20091004) some of the symbols (like npn-1.sym) have filled arrows. Is it possible to create these by means other than copying them from a symbol that already has them, or maybe editing the symbol source? I'm looking in the add menu, and don't see

Re: gEDA-user: How to deal with single/dual parts?

2009-11-20 Thread Phil Frost
There are a lot of ideas going around here and most of them sound like good features. I'm a long time but casual user of geda and I don't want to step on the toes of those who use it more or actively develop the tools. I'd just like like to interject one thing. I think it's important to pay
