Hi, the latest CD Rom Image I found is dated from Feb. 07. I like to compile the complete stuff from the sources and will normaly not use rpm´s. My linux system is very old so I have sometimes a lot of trouble with newer rps and dependencies. Is it possible to create an actual cd rom image

I looked at the autonumber feature briefly but with a preconceived notion that it wouldn't do all of the pages of a flat schematic. From your comment it seems maybe this is wrong. If I select the whole hierarchy instead of current page will autonumber number reference designators across all

From my reading of DRC2 it tests for 1) Non numbered parts 2) Duplicate references But, of course, some of us often use multiple symbols for one part. I do as well, I have added to my code an attribute that tells the netlister to not include this sybol in the bom. In essence, I am

If you are trying to use the GNU Java, I can see why you would have trouble. My java development environment is Eclipse, and it will hardly run at all on the GNU Java. I've heard that other other commercial companies' javas will work, but Sun's still seems to be the best. D -Original
