I'm having trouble getting a schematic exported appropriately for pcb.
I'm trying to use gsch2pcb and having trouble with footprint
specifications. What I can't find in the tutorial is the footprint
specification to use fo a number of parts---basic stuff like caps and
diodes.
From the geda docs, I found footprint naming conventions, but I seem to
have taken that out of context, because gsch2pcb sure doesn't do
anything with it.
As an example, I have a cap where I set footprint=BRE200, but the cap is
dropped by gsch2pcb.
Can someone give me some clues, cause I haven't got any :-/
TIA,
roland
