gEDA-user: pcb, strange line tool bug

2008-10-23 Thread Stefan Salewski
pcb version 20080202 GTK This bug occurred for the third time now, so I should report it: Line tool was active (I was drawing traces), Auto enforce DRC clearance was not active. I did some undo's pressing the u key before the bug occurs, but I am not sure if I did use undo the two other times.

Thanks to everyone for their ideas for reading and writing component attributes. Unfortunately this may take some time (being eternally overloaded and unfamiliar with gaf code), but I have a strong interest in making something work. What form this takes is still to-be-determined. Complicating
