Hi, as you can tell from my mails, I am about to dive into pcb. First thing I did was, to design a footprint PENTAWATV for the L165 Power Opamp. I started with pcb and thought, I'd finish with an editor. The pin definition in my file looks like this: /-------- | Pin[0 0 6600 2000 8600 4600 "" "1" 0x00000101] \-------
In the pcb docs (pcb-20050609.html/Element-File.html) I find: /------ | Pin = "Pin(" X Y Thickness DrillingHole Name PinNumber Flags ")" \------
How does this match? There are nine Arguments in my pin definition but only seven in the docs. Let me see. The last three items seem clear: name, pin number and flags. The first two numbers are the position of the pin. (It was deliberately set to the origin). But what about the next numbers? If I look at the object report, I see that "4600" is the drill width, "6600" is the copper width and "8600" is the solder mask hole. But what is "2000"?
The same with the element[]() syntax --- 11 arguments in my file but only 9 arguments in the docs.
Clearly, the docs I am looking at do not reflect the file format used by my installed version of pcb. Is there any other place to look for the syntax?
