2. Under the pcblib-newlib directory, there are two locations for the 1206.fp footprint; 1) geda and 2) generic. Is this a problem and how does PCB handle this? PCB doesn't. When you load from the library, you specify exactly which one you want. Once it's loaded, there'

What I do is I place all of the footprints I have reviewed in a single directory and I only use footprints from that directory. I have a shell script called sch2pcb which contains the lines --- #!/bin/bash gsch2pcb --use-files --elements-dir /local/lan/pcb/packages $@ Only footprints from the
