gEDA-user: cloning a board in geda/PCB

2006-04-13 Thread Phil Taylor
I have a PCB that I'd like to clone. It's nothing special. A lot of axial caps, 40 resistors, some complicated mod-pot action, 8 dips, 2 txstors, and 4 diodes. What's the best (fast, with solid results) way to do it? Options: --write a netlist by hand --> PCB --draw it all in gschem and follo

gEDA-user: gerbv segfault

2006-04-13 Thread Karel Kulhavy
I got a gerbv segfault when I zoomed a capacitor silkscreen over the whole screen and then tried changing the color of the layer. As soon as I clicked the color change menu option, gerbv segfaulted. (gdb) bt full #0 0xb7c399f1 in IA__gdk_window_raise (window=0x6c6f6320) at gdkwindow-x11.c:1992
