Re: gEDA-user: PCB oval pads

[Steve Meier <smeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Use a text editor to look at the land pattern file

The rounding of corners is controlled by the 3rd bytes 1st bit. If the
bit is off then the corners get rounded if it is on then the corners are
not rounded.

For the two pads below. Pad "1" has rounded corners while Pad "2" has a
rectangular shape.

Pad(-297 -200 -235 -200 24 24 14 "1" "1" 0x00000000)
Pad(-297 -150 -235 -150 24 24 14 "2" "2" 0x00000100)

by the way.... using () implies a resolution in mils  and [] implies a
resolution in 0.01 mils. so the next two pads are in the higher
resolution format but are the same pads.

Pad[-29700 -20000 -23500 -20000 2400 2400 1400 "1" "1" 0x00000000]
Pad[-29700 -15000 -23500 -15000 2400 2400 1400 "2" "2" 0x00000100]
