Hello all, I have three questions/items for discussion. Two of these have been discussed before. First, I am given a board outline in DXF format by a mechanical engineer. I can successfully convert it to pcb format (import it to qcad, print it as ps; convert it to encapsulated ps with

Second, in the past there were questions about rotating by arbitrary angle in pcb. I think the precision reason went away when we switched to centimils, but keep in mind that rotation is *done* not *recorded*. The pads get new coordinates, recomputed each time you rotate it. Eventually you

Hello, I found a commandline option '--menu-file' in the sources (main.c) which seems to be broken. (The expected functionality is given with the option --pcb-menu). Do you think the same like me that this code can be removed? I appended two patches: 0055: Removes this commandline option

You can't rotate a square pad, because there's no reference angle - both end points are the same. Just make the pads slightly not-square. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
