Shift works, "/" does not work. Maybe this is because on my (german) keyboard / is on the "7" key? I have to press [shift-7] to get the slash in text applications. If I press "7" in pcb, the seventh layer gets current. With [shift-7] nothing happens. >>Direct connection of two points, allowing for any angle, not just >>integers of 45?° > Control key. This does not work either :-| If I press the control key while drawing a line, the preview vanishes and I get no new line segment. All I get if I click while holding the ctrl key is a marker like the one of [shift-m]. > To follow a trace to a different layer via a > via, click to end the current trace where you want the via, then > switch layers (the number keys 1-8 are shortcuts for switching layers) Ok, that one was really important! <snip> > gschem uses a template pcb, so you get whatever the template had. > It's based on older pcb defaults. You can change them if you want. Where is the file supposed to be? (I did not find it in /etc/gEDA) <snip> >>6) Is there a way to "go backwards" while routing?

I didn't expect this section to contain the main body of user commands. When I looked at "User Commands" and "X11 Interface" I got the impression that the questions I had were not addressed. I promise, to add your answers to the wiki! ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak kmk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Blog: http://lilalaser.dyndns.org/blog
