Of course, if you have an idea of the name of the footprint (i.e. from Datasheet) one may try something like ste...@amd64x2 ~ $ locate -i LED |grep .fp /usr/share/pcb/pcblib-newlib/geda/LED3.fp /usr/share/pcb/pcblib-newlib/geda/LED5.fp /usr/local/share/pcb-symbols-jcl_2008-4-25/LED-254P-320D__Kingbright_3mm.fp /usr/local/share/pcb-symbols-jcl_2008-4-25/LED-254P-580D__Kingbright_5mm.fp /usr/local/share/pcb-symbols-jcl_2008-4-25/LED-254P-460D__Kingbright_4mm.fp (We may skip the "grep .fp" because there may exist footprints without extension .fp) And you may try a similar search at http://www.gedasymbols.org/ http://www.luciani.org/geda/pcb/pcb-footprint-list.html For oldlib/m4 footprints it may be more difficult, I have always problems to remember meaning of names like ACY... But at least that names makes much more sense than [email protected] and ZK of the origial author. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
