gEDA-user: Making PCB parts

[Vincent Onelli <vonelli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi There,

I am try to make new parts, no problem to make parts for schematic but
make footprint, it is not an easy task. I start making a simple PC
transformer and few other parts, completed the layout and saved. At this
point Iran the gsch2pcb which generate the pcb file OK so far, I loaded
the pcb file it came up with error, syntax error. Among of try many
things which none worked I moved the directory m4 to a an other location
this solved this problem I do not intend use the m4 any way. Generated a
new pcb file and loaded no error, I disperse the parts within the board
here I noted that all the parts that I made had a very small pad so I
went back and try to correct, but I could not find the way to change the
hole or pad size, so I use the text editor and change the number and
then saved, great! I thought, but wen I loaded the part only to check if
I had changed the appropriate group of numbers, it was OK pads were
correct only now the part filled up the full size board space I then
regenerate the new pcb file and try to load on pcb it will not load,
here is the file for the transformer the change that I made is the pin
hole from 2000 to 5500 and 3600 to 8000
 
    
Element["" "" "" "" 136000 333300 0 0 0 100 ""]
(
	Pin[0 0 8000 2000 8600 5500 "" "1" "edge2"]
	Pin[0 -49900 8000 2000 8600 5500 "" "2" "edge2"]
	Pin[200 -100000 8000 2000 8600 5500 "" "4" "edge2"]
	Pin[200 -149900 8000 2000 8600 5500 "" "3" "edge2"]
	Pin[205600 -149800 8000 2000 8600 5500 "" "7" "edge2"]
	Pin[205600 -100000 8000 2000 8600 5500 "" "8" "edge2"]
	Pin[205600 -49900 8000 2000 8600 5500 "" "6" "edge2"]
	Pin[205600 0 8000 2000 8600 5500 "" "5" "edge2"]
	ElementLine [227800 -149900 227800 100 1000]
	ElementLine [212800 -149900 227800 -149900 1000]
	ElementLine [227800 100 212800 100 1000]
	ElementLine [7800 -174900 197800 -174900 1000]
	ElementLine [-7200 -149900 -22200 -149900 1000]
	ElementLine [197800 -174900 197800 25100 1000]
	ElementLine [-22200 100 -7200 100 1000]
	ElementLine [-22200 -149900 -22200 100 1000]
	ElementLine [7800 25100 7800 -174900 1000]
	ElementLine [197800 25100 7800 25100 1000]

The pcb file I did not since it is large about 42k but if it will tell
the story I will send.

I hope you can make same sens of this 
I certainly will appreciate very much and thank you in advance
