Well, re-doing the PCB GUI is a tall enough order. My question wasn't meant to
cause your taking on another task, but rather to find out how we can get these
useful things in one place.
I noticed the gEDA wiki isn't open; perhaps it, or a portion of it, should be
to allow the (somewhat)
I added footprint TO220 for 7815 that has 3 pins and it says

I looked the package type up in the pdf any ideas pls

For those interested in such things, I found the following while
updating some URLs on my HomePage:

included. Any users

There are three forms of documentation:

--faq's (the pcb-tips wiki)
--manual (deep documentation of pcb)
The tutorials we have now are good--but they are somewhat closed source in
that the group doesn't own them. There should be a wiki

Perfectly? Or slightly larger? I saw one board that used this
technique, and at certain zoom factors you could see the hint of an
outline where the drawn circle didn't quite fill the

Yay! One down, two to go.
Since the terminals of passive components (resistors, capacitors, inductors)
are connected to power pins, input pins and output pins you should set the
pintype to input.

Not input, passive. A node that's all inputs is an error, but a
No.
The diode can perform a useful function with its pins connected to power,
inputs or outputs.

No, as they are passive components they should be set to passiv.

I forgot about the passive pintype.

We need a way to edit the arc angles with the GUI. PCB has no
problems with non-quadrant arcs, you just can't create them with the
mouse.
The reason is that non-quadrant arcs necessarily fall off of the grid - in
principle you can't
The reason is that non-quadrant arcs necessarily fall off of the
grid - in principle you can't move your crosshair their. Now that we
can snap to line/arc endpoints, this really isn't an issue, so we
can consider a more advanced arc drawing tool.
I didn't say it would be easy. Drawing
Hi Marc,
as other people pointed, resistor pins should be passive. However,
please use the CVS symbols, because the pintype of resistors,
capacitors, diodes and so on has been corrected in CVS.
Checkout the latest version!
