I added corner points to the ground plane to leave windows under the inverting inputs of AD8005 CFAs. Its a mess, but the bords will fly to Mars, as Ales just found out :-) There can be multiple PCB layers in a group (physical layer). How about adding a flag for polarity, so we can have cutouts? And priority by stacking order? Stephan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
