Neither PCB nor gschem have a footprint previewer, but what you can do (and what I do) is to open Window->Library in PCB and just select footprints and place them on a blank board to see what they look like. Even just the "crosshair" outline is sometimes enough. For ~lib libraries (old style), the name in square brackets is the footprint name, for new style (no ~) libraries, use the whole name.
Most of the generic footprints I use are in ~geda, like ACY400 for 1/4W resistors. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
