I use real footprints for mounting holes, and call them out on the schematic. I have a small collection of screw-sized one-pin footprints for this purpose. But PCB's default is "vias are tented, pins are not" because 99% of the time, that's what the user wants. I can see where a via->hole conversion should do something smarter, though, but we've always had weird luck with defining "the right thing" for conversions to/from holes. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
