I just ran gsch2pcb on a new project. It worked exactly as planned. Better in fact.
The project has SOT223's. I attributed the footprints: SOT223. Upon running the venerable gsch2pcb, I actually got SOT223's (very large ugly ones) put into my file.pcb layout even though I haven't drawn the actual footprint yet. I can't locate an SOT223 in my system even though this is the name generated by ctrl-R (object report)! So, is there a way to tell where this came from? (m4 detritus?) also, if I run 'gsch2pcb project' where 'project' is a project specific file specifying the foots location: elements-dir ~dir1/dir2/myfootprintsdirectory Does this set priority for the footprints search? Does gsch2pcb _not_ generate a log? --confused, Phil
