Re: gEDA-user: Making PCB parts

Vincent,

The attached fp seems to work okay in my PCB (20080202).

Good move.  Some find the M4 footprints more versatile, but I do what you
do ... omit the m4 directory and just use my own file footprints.

Check to make sure you've got all of your 'decimal' points in the right
place:  100000 = 1 inch.  If you got an extra zero it could swamp the
whole pcb area.

Like I said, the fp you sent loads okay.  The copper annulae seem a bit on
the small side--they will hold the weight of the txfmr, right?
