Re: gEDA-user: Seeing pin numbers in PCB

[Oliver King-Smith <oliverks1@xxxxxxxxx>]

   Thank you for the info.  Both the Ctrl-M idea from Levente and you
   suggestion for pin labels worked well for me.

   Place footprint, then:
   - hover mouse cursor over the component (not over pin), press d: all
   pin numebrs will appear
   - hover over a pin, press d: pin number of the given pin appears
   - hover over a pin or component and press shift+d: pin number dialog
   opens
   The above work with the gtk hid, I don't know if bindings are the same
   for the lesstif hid. Recent versions of PCB with gtk hid also displays
   pin numbers in the preview window while selecting footprints.
   hope this helps,
