Using pcb for footprint creation is one way -- some people prefer to use tools like footgen.py from gedasymbols or online tools, i.e. from DJ. Basic footprint documentation is available from http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:pcb_footprints and http://brorson.com/gEDA/land_patterns_20070818.pdf (still with a few minor typos :-) > Why did the solder side disappear when > executing the "break buffer elements to pieces" command? > No idea. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
