Re: gEDA-user: solder strip

Hello

I have discovered two problems connected with faking solderable strip at
the edge of the board on PCB:

1) It gets into soldermask which breaks the phosphorbronze stencil (the
stencil completely falls out of the frame)

2) the ratnest complains about "unknown, pin 1" shorted to ground.

Why don't you make a symbol for gschem that represents the shield. Give it one pin. In the schematic connect that one pin to ground. I do this all the time to make holes for ground clips (to clip my oscilloscope probe ground to at convinient locations). Make a foot print for the shield as if it is a component.
