The two that I can think of right now are -- CON_USB_MINI_B__Molex_67503-1020 at http://www.luciani.org/geda/pcb/footprints-gif/Connector-gif.html IIRC the hashed area is a keepout (at least it has been all of my designs ;) For ANT_FOLDED_DIPOLE__Chipcon_2500 http://www.luciani.org/geda/pcb/footprints-gif/misc-gif.html The keepout is indicated by a single line. Just layout hints nothing fancy. (* jcl *) -- Closed Tools + Open Files != Open Hardware You can't create open hardware with closed EDA tools. twitter: http://twitter.com/jluciani blog: http://www.luciani.org _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
