What I would like to have is a more intelligent method of inserting new tracks. So if I wanted to insert a new track between two existing tracks, these two should get pushed a little bit to make space for the track inbetween. Sounds a little bit related to your idea of "Sprung loaded tracking". Hav

Hi, I'm doing a layout using the toporouter of pcb. It really gives very nice results, but it takes really very long to run (about an hour). Is this "normal"? If I look at the run times on Anthony Blake's page (http://anthonix.resnet.scms.waikato.ac.nz/toporouter/), they are in the magnitude of sec

Hi Steve, you can use the command MoveObject(X,Y,dim) to move the object under the cursor. Place the cursor over the object you want to move, type ":" (without the quotes), and then the command. for dim you either select mil or mm, or nothing (then its 1/100 mil). You can read the whole documentati

Hi all, the zoom function in gschem is still a little bit confusing. If it would be like in pcb it would look much smoother. In pcb the spot under the mouse is zoomed in, but neither mouse nor layout change their position. In gschem however the spot under the mouse is centered, and then zoomed i

Hi, it would be nice to have a preview for the footprints in the attribute window of gschem or in gattrib. At the moment I switch everytime between pcb and gschem to find the right footprint for the component. For often used components you know the best footprint after some time, but for less us
