Just a tip, when working with mixed parts, i start traces from the

if connecting two parts off grid but with miters that work with the

I see all this activity, got a screen shot? i dont have the time to

The first thin an AC analysis does is determine it's DC operating
point, then on top of that dc operating point it runs the AC small
signal analysis.

We already have database problems. just because we use a non
rational flat file data storage, doesn't mean we don't have a data base.
I now manually manage all of my symbols and footprints, because they
do get broken on gEDA updates.

Sorry for the mis-phrasing, when a thermal is auto added, please set
the auto placed flag indicating that it was auto placed.

jcl,
I have made this the size of 0603 parts so that i can solder ball
them, or stuff them with an 0603 resistor.
Could we make a copper shorted version as well?
It allows for the reverse of the idea, by default it is connects two
nets that an exacto can cut out.

John,
I started writing a document today and was wondering if you had
released these.

if we open a PCB file that doesn't specify an annulus min width then
the annulus min width should be set to the min width of the copper
lines.
I like the idea of expanding the vendor files to provide for the DRC
and drill mappings, making it a file that has the parameters seems
like a goo

I see two threads,
One on how to add a plugin to gerbv to allow for pick and place auto
programming from gerbers.
This could be done with or with out the help of an existing pick and
place file.
The second thread is how to make PCB create consistent pick and place
data so that the auto fit

If we really want this we might look into fully supporting arbitrary
rotations as a first step. the current method is a elegant
hack\b\b\b\b workaround.
adding a rotation field to the data structures would be what is required for
DRC checking ( i believe that it still assumes 90 degree rotations
If Pads expects CR-NL should the netlist generator output CR-NL?
