I left out the most important question. What exactly did you set your footprint= to in your schematic? It should be SOT89 and *not* SOT89.fp otherwise you will feed garbage to m4. gsch2pcb will search for files without the .fp and then automatically search for files with .fp if the former is gone. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
