Do you carefully follow the instructions from pcb manual, section "Creating Newlib Footprints" ? For most people this seems to work fine. I myself never did this, I used footgen.py in the past, and now my sfg.rb generator. It may be useful to specify your pcb version. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
