You need the flattened refdes to be the same for all components which are supposed to go in the same slot. (Ie. it won't work with hierarchical naming.) The fact that both elements in PCB get the first slot used does suggest that the slot=2 attribute didn't take. You might try checking it is correct in the schematic. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
