The current development version of pcb includes a new feature "polygon holes" :-) See the attached screenshot. To get this version of pcb you'd have to download the current source from git and compile it locally. This page describes how to download the source from the git repository http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:scm?s[]=git Compile is straight forward: /--------------------------------------------- git clone git://git.gpleda.org/pcb.git cd pcb ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-toporouter-output make sudo make install \-------------------------------------------- If you do this for the first time, you most probably have to install some additional packages from your distro. When in doubt, also install the package that contains the header files, too. On debian/testing I recently needed these additional packages for pcb: autogen autopoint intltool (draws autoconf, automake and autotools-dev ) libdbus-1-dev libgtk2.0-dev (draws 15 more packagesh) x-ttcidfont-conf libgd2-xpm-dev Hope, this gets you started. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get
