The 'RADIAL_CAN 200' I used to replace Luciani-footprints (I don't blame him but the parser), after this proved non-working.It is interesting to note, that in the file Hauptplatine_v1.new.pcb generated by gsch2pcb,
they translate to "RADIAL_CAN-200" in the Element-definition.Maybe it is somewhere, but an authoritative definition of what characters are allowed in identifiers seems to be badly lacking. This definition must hold valid for the entire gEDA suite. Otherwise an integration of any kind is doomed to fail.
Looking at this I recall a statement about file-format evolvement:"...the file format must stay backwards compatible." - I dare to negate this: All the files I encountered but the netlist have a version specifier as their 1st line.
It is sufficient to adhere to this feature. All other characteristics can be changed and some should. A good idea to me is to adherere to the JSON syntax definition for future exchange formats. http://www.json.org/ For netlists one might consider <ref_des>:<N> instead of <ref_des>-<N>.

This works, because recent PCB program has copies of all old m4 footprints in newlib format. But it works not perfect, there is some trouble with naming of footprint files. So it may be better to rename your files, replacing the "-".Ahh -- in your schematic you have footprint names like footprint=RADIAL_CAN 200 with spaces in name, I think this is calling the m4 macro processor. So "skip-m4" will not work! But at the same time you are using pcb-symbols-jcl_2008-4-25 and your own containing the problematic minussign in file name.I think I have to rename all of them, including John Luciani's. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
