Hello All,
I'm trying to compile and install PCB (version 20091103) and I have an
question.
I have created two (/home/me/tools/bin, /home/me/tools/share) directories.
Then I use:
./configure --prefix=/home/me/tools/ --with-exporters="ps gerber nelma bom
png"
make
make install
So far so good.

Hello All,
I have re-compiled pcb using the same commands and for some reason all
is OK now. I have the standard footprint libraries available.
I have no idea what when wrong, but sorry to waste your time with this.

Hello All,
Sorry to bother you again with a novice question. I'm in the proces of
understanding PCB so please be gentle.
I have a component (DPAK) on the top (component) side of my pcb,
surrounded by a polygon. I have connected one pad to the polygon by
using copper trackes. I also have a polygon

I don't fully understand the source code and I don't know if anyone is
interested but this is what I found.
Apparently there are 5 types of thermals:
1. a X shape with straight spokes
2. a X shape with round spokes
3. a + shape with straight spokes
4. a + shape with round spokes
5. a solid shape
Hello all,
I want to use a component with the attached footprint.
Is it possible to make a footprint with an arc inside?
Any help appreciated.

If you hover above a pad and hit the "F" key (Find Connections) all
connections that are attached to that pad will be marked.
It helps me to find out which pad is connected to what without the use of
the schematic.
I hope I understand your problem correctly.

Hello Nikos,
The net attribute inside a symbol has the form
net=signalname:pinname,pinname,pinname
Please also see: http://www.geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:na_howto
In your case pin 1 and pin 3V are both connected to VCC.
So probably you want something like net=3V:1 or net=3V:pwr

Sorry, almost but not quite. If I apply the patch the DRC error in the

Hello all,
I was wondering if it is possible to add more information to the
fabrication layer output of the gerber export (*.fab).
I like to add the copper thickness for that specific pcb (preferably for
ever layer individually (inner/outer layer)).
Thanks,
Robert.

Is it not possible to make a top level program that launches the

What I think users want is to have the underlying tools be more aware
of the other sources of data in the design, and each other, so that
the GUIs appear to be more integrated despite being individual tools
and datasets underneath. This may require some high-level "these are

I had the same thought that Vx was floating somewhere unwanted, that's
why I added the resistor (which didn't work).
Gazing at this problem for a couple of days make me miss the obvious,
just split the filter. Brilliant.
I'll give it a try.

Vcc and Vss are still sensitive to load. So if the design requires

Your absolutely right, but that's what comes next. It is the regulators

Hallo all,
I'm new to this mailinglist so please be gentle.
My question:
Is it possible to make a net thicker in gschem (not a line but a net).
I want to indicate in my schematic than the net is a high current power
net.
Thanks for your answers.
Best regards, Robert.
who can tell you about
some of the other ways that you can customise gEDA but I hope this
gets you off in the right direction.
Cheers,
