The output of pcb -h says: /------------ --layer-stack <string> Initial layer stackup, for setting up an export. \------------
This seems to be a means to choose the output layers when printing from the command line. If I deliberately set the string to some arbitrary value, I get a warning telling me that this is no good layer name, followed by a list of allowed layer names. I get no such warning, if I use these layer names separated by commas. So I assume, my string gets accepted as a layer-stack. However, the eps export HID does not seem to care what layers I mention in the layer stack. I always get all layers with the silk screen printed on top. Is this a bug, or do I misinterpret the description of the layer- stack option? ---<(kaimartin)>--- PS: There is no description whatsoever on layer stacks in the pcb manual. Most options in the section "command line options" are obsolete http://pcb.gpleda.org/pcb-cvs/pcb.html#Command_002dLine-Options Is there a reason, why this section of the manual did receive an update when the actual command line options were changed? I have mentioned this deficiency in the manual more than once on the mailing list, since I started looking into command line printing -- about two years ago. Would it help, if I file a bug report on this rather misleading documentation? If this is again a case of lack of developer cycles, how about letting trusted non-developers improve the manual? -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
