Re: gEDA-user: PCB footprints

[vsrk sarma]

   I suppose the problem will not show when DB25-1.sym and
    DB25f.fp are  used without editing.
   My requirement is a 21 pin connector which has staggered pins like
   DB25 but with numbered serially i.e. staggered, unlike DB25, which has
   row-wise numbering. Also pin spacing is 100 mil instead of 50 mil in
   DB25. So, I tried editing coordinates and numbers in the 25f.fp file.
   This did not match with numbering in symbol file which was also
   edited, suitably.
   Finally relocating Pin & ElementLine in the order of pin
   numbers(desired) and changing the numbers in quotes also in the same
   order, worked as solution. Iam attacing both the edited files. I
   request  help confirming this editing has no loopholes.
   BTW, is there simillar connector in newlib folder. I do not notice
   any.
   My versions are gEDA/gschem version 1.4.0.20080127 & PCB version
   20080202, default package version of Ubuntu 8.10. Will upgrading to
   1.4.3 help?

       As a new user to geda &PCB i have some queries.
       I notice the pin numbers (given in pcblib-newlib footprint files
     such
       as DB25f.fp) listed in quotes inside text files are not used and
     PCB
       renumbers the pins in the sequence they appear in the text file
     of .fp
       ). Is my obsevation correct? s there any purpose for  which
     numbers in
       qoutes such "5" can be used?
       Do these numbers correspond I find it more cofusing because
     footprint
       when opened in PCB doesn't show up pin numbers.
