gEDA-user: Constraint-based PCB footprint design



Hey all,

I've recently been playing around with designing footprints by
describing a set of constraints that position features relative to each
other.  This is rather than specifying the absolute co-ordinates of
every feature.

I've written a small tool that allows this to be done.  It pumps out a
gEDA PCB footprint when one wants :-)

I've written more information about it in a blog post, where you'll also
find a link to the code:
https://xgoat.com/wp/2011/08/08/playing-with-footprints-and-constraints/

The tool is by no means complete...  it's the result of just a few hours
work right now.  Anyway, I hope either the tool or the concept of the
tool might be of use to at least some in the gEDA community.

Cheers,

Rob
