On the sample I have from my cheap-O toy, the traces look like they have been 'ballooned', making a wider trace. This way there is only one clearance gap between two traces. Think of it as placing a bunch of ballons in a box, then blowing them all up at the same time. That is the concept of what I am looking to do. -Marc _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
