Re: gEDA-user: PCB help with ElementArc, please!

I dont have the answer for your question, but I am affraid the line that 
passes between two pins in the connecor in the right of R1 are too close to 
the pins, less than 10 mils, thats very dangerous... I use 12 mils or more os 
spacing between anything.
