Hello,
In my current design I wanted ton create footprint (for "touch key") that would
have normal pin and some copper tracks connected to this pin. Is it possible?
Tracks automatically became pads in footprint so then I have DRC errors. In
general is it possible to create footprint that will h

Hello,
I am using geda version 20070526 on gentoo 32 bit system, glibc 2.7. Whenever I
want to place big symbol on a schematic page (like 500pin Xilinx, or event

The symbols are from standard library:

Hi Peter,
I tried 1.4.0 version of geda/libgeda and can not reproduce the crash, it seems

I think that I will try the gattrib approach and I will see how it works for

Hello again,
Is there a way to have a better (more readable) text in gshcem's schematic

Hello,
After putting some big components (ICs in 200pin TQFP) on my board I've noticed
that PCB slowed down drastically. Now it takes over 2-3 seconds to redraw a
component in different place after moving. I've checked system load with top

apps, however I becomes annoying

One more note about teardrops. The plugin is really nice and helpful for
