Hello group! This is my first post, so I apologize but I'm afraid I need some help!
I installed Kicad (2010-05-05 BZR 2356) on Ubuntu Lucid64. Fine. As far as drawing schematics, everything is ok. Now if I try to draw a PCB without schematic, without netlist, without autorouter... Just a simple one sided circuit board. I create a new project, open PCB new, place say a DIP-8_300 component, click on 'add traces and vias', start tracing... and get: Type Err(4) trace near pad What the hell am I doing wrong? I can draw a trace without problem as long as I don't get near to the component (which is not very useful!). It's not component related (same behavior with resistances, caps, and so on) Component and traces are both on the 'under' side. I tried different traces sizes, I searched in the manual, in the different tutos, in the web... Nada! I searched here but the search server is 'busy' please try again later! Plus I don't know what to enter in the search engine, 'manual routing' return results such as auto-routing in the kicad manual, and the likes! I'm quite convinced that this must be something really simple, but I can't find it! Thanks for your help Axel
