Quick answer: first, that one needs a name ending in .fp placed in a dir referred to by your ~/.pcb/preferences file. containing a line like my Pcb.libraryPath to where you put the footprint.fp file: ====================== ### PCB configuration file. ### Pcb.libraryPath = /home/john/EEProjects/now-svn-ecosensory/circuitboards/footprints_pcb gui-compact-horizontal = 0 gui-compact-vertical = 0 gui-title-window = 1 use-command-window = 1 save-in-tmp = 0 grid-units-mm = 0 history-size = 15 . . . . . ===================== and then restart pcb to load it from the library drop down, (follow the menus) John G It's funny how the other repliers did not answer his question... It's easy to be helpful and promote gEDA tools -- answer questions first, then yak about syntax and style and so on... -- Ecosensory Austin TX _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
