One of my dream projects is to do a GUI for pcb that uses two or
more monitors, with one monitor heavy on the toolbars and showing an
overview thumber window, and the other monitor being 100% layout.
eh, one of the reasons I really like having two monitors is so I can
have reference

I expect there will be a growing demand for exit options for Altium
users once the full impact of their recent upheaval settles in. It
could benefit the gEDA community to adopt Altium refugees - they're

Andrew and Kai-Martin,
I've saved the broken (with wrong Q42) board using pcb+gl_experimantal.stgit
branch.
No problems with with pcb+gl, but I did not try to open broken file there.
Anyway I remember that there was a situation when one version (after some
moving/dragging components) showed

This is why I habitually move the m4 lib out of the way, so gnetlist

Hello All,
How does gschem handle cases of different gates in the same package?
For example, I am trying to create a symbol for On Semiconductor's
NTZD3155C complementary PMOS-NMOS MOSFET pair. Unlike the dual/quad
NAND/NOR gates in the gschem tutorials, this package contains two

on a more serious note, yes, a path from altium would be huge, but in
all honesty, having tools that work and inter-operate would be much
better. After playing with KiCAD for a bit, they have a very nice
integrated tool suite that all works...and

No offense, but from all the stuff I've read from the gEDA base, various
blog postings, and freelance how-tos, a common topic that always seems to
come up is that with these tools and a knowledge of scripting languages, one
can do just about anything.
There are two camps here. One pushes
