It supports whatever gnetlist supports. It just doesn't use gsch2pcb
to do the merge.

However, if PCB can find your footprints in the library window, try

I've not tried that yet. Any chance it will work with flattened hierarchic

schematics with repeated subschematics?

Here's one of my project files (for gsch2pcb):

Thanks and DJ and John. Now I finally begin to feel comfortable with
creating footprints in PCB.
But I am still finding another problem with getting the whole pile to
translate. I have made or downloaded several custom symbols and
footprints. But not matter how many times I insert a

Also needed for slotting.

The easiest way is to use a text editor.

gsch2pcb and pcb's File->Import do that automatically, based on the
pin names in the schematic.

Thanks DJ. The first part of that looks familiar. I guess I never read
down far enough to get the footprint creation. I now realize that my
problem was that the menu did not indicate that converting the buffer
to an element converted vias to pins. I had no idea at all how the pin

The second "Your first board" has that.

I was trying to make footprints for the screw terminals I am using in
my current project. They are on 5 mm spacing, not inches, so I was
hesitant to start with a different footprint and try to change it for
fear of getting the units mixed up and creating a mess. So I switched
