It might be cool to specify a minimum current, but then PCB would need to know the stack up. but it would prevent problems like 1 oz outside and 1/2 oz inside and a internal trace being WAY too thin. using a PCB trace width calculation, and DRC erroring when it cannot handle the current. > -Dave > > -- > Dave McGuire > Port Charlotte, FL > > > > _______________________________________________ > geda-user mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
