This was discussed a lot on this mailing list -- you may search the archives. One "problem" is, that gschem is not PCB centric. gschem -> PCB is one workflow, among many others, i.e. spice. A PCB footprint browser or previewer for gschem may not hurt, but there will not be too much benefit. For people familiar with gEDA/PCB finding footprints is no problem. (Checking that footprints fit to parts is much more work -- making printout of layout and putting parts on footprints.) You may try something like ste...@amd64-x2 ~ $ locate -i qfp |grep 64 If unsure, load footprint in PCB for inspection. And see http://www.luciani.org/geda/pcb/pcb-footprint-list.html and http://www.gedasymbols.org/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
