HOW RUDE !! LMAO .. just kiddin
Well .. I will migrate to one of the others as soon as I have time..
I will say one thing about the FreePCB ..
Using that and having to deal with the "nets"
has been instructional .. and when making that board ..
I have some "conflicts" where I couldnt attach a wire
to a pin on a part because it was on a different net .
BUT .. this time .. thanks to everyones patience and
kind assistance .. it made sense and I knew what to do to fix it .
It kind of reminds me of switches and hubs and segments / collision domains.
On the note of OTHER software .. I am playing with KICAD in ubuntu
and created a schematic, but when I click on the PCB button ( forget what its
called and I am at work )
it opens the board editor with a blank sheet ... shouldnt it bring the schematic
info
over into the board layout ? Or is it a manual import type thang ? LOL
I'm thinking it should do what Eagle does when you switch to the board editor.
Thanks again all
Randy - N2CUA

Okay -- no schematic editor, no way to print out directly from the program ... I
don't mean to be rude (well, maybe just a little! :)), but why would anyone use
FreePCB??
