[kicad-users] CVPCB...

Well, I think I'm finally getting somewhere. I've got the schematic done -I rebuilt it in a new file, and I am able to build the netlist in CVPCB. I did the Electric Rules Check - it showed no errors. (But I guess it did that before, too...) However, I cannot find the associated footprint item

This is happening to me on Linux and Mac OS X. I guess there is a bug in the wxwidgets, but I am not sure. B. On 2007.1.22, at 20:30, Richard Burton wrote: > >What if you plot (plot not print!) to postscript - are the holes OK? > > Yes, they come out fine then. Thanks very much! > > Richard. >

[kicad-users] Printing broken holes in pads

Hi, I'm trying to print out a layout (for toner transfer). The board is nothing fancy, all 0.1 inch spaced components, through hole. On the printout each pad has a hole in it, but the holes are uneven sizes and shapes, and many of them cut out of the pad altogether, sometimes at the point where

[kicad-users] PCB-Pool

I've used PCB-Pool a lot over the past few years. They are a very friendly and competent company, and if for no other reason than Celtic solidarity, it's good to do business with a Company just the other side of the Irish Sea from Wales! Previously, when I used Protel exclusively, I submitted t
