Re: gEDA-user: default pcb stackup change?



Hello,

I just realized, that the 'view'-label in the status bar is still displaying the 'old' boardsize-names.

The appended patch replaces them with 'top' and 'bottom'.

Should I do a separate bug-report for this?

Kind regards,
Felix

I'm pondering a minor change in pcb's defaults to give us a more
useful default stackup.  How's this?

   LAYERNAME (1, "top"),
   LAYERNAME (2, "ground"),
   LAYERNAME (3, "signal2"),
   LAYERNAME (4, "signal3"),
   LAYERNAME (5, "power"),
   LAYERNAME (6, "bottom"),
   LAYERNAME (7, "outline"),
   LAYERNAME (8, "spare"),

This encompasses a few changes:

1. Default to six-layer stackup.  You can ignore the signalN or
    power/ground layers for smaller boards.  This covers nearly all PCB
    users (2/4/6 layers), and the rest can edit the stackup as usual.

2. Always include an "outline" layer.  Handling an empty outline layer
    will need to be tweaked.

3. Rename outer layers to top/bottom, which seems to be what other
    packages (specifically, eagle and kicad) use.  Component/solder
    isn't as obvious with SMT.  We've used front/back elsewhere before,
    too, but that seems to be even less common.

4. Make the default layers in the right order to reflect a physical
    stackup.

Note that this would be an interim change until we get around to
either a new-board-wizard or new-means-load-template.

So, geda/pcb users - would such a layout be a better default for you?
Or worse?  Or would something else make more sense?

Subject: [PATCH] Change 'view' lable in status bar to top/bottom

Since 11 April 2011 the default layer names are called 'top' and 'bottom'
instead of 'component' and 'solder'.
