Hello Chris, That's sounds great. Maybe i can help you, i wrote a script to export pdfs and handbooks for geda/pcb projects. I Attach you the script. I use Fedora Core 14 with the standart geda-gaf rpms. And it works perfectly. you need ghostscript a project file and the createPCB.sh script example project: - schematics schem1.sch schem2.sch output-name masterboard elements-dir ~/gaf/pcb-elements/using - change the path in the createPCB.sh for the print.scm to your needs.
Attachment:
createPCB.sh
Description: Binary data
run the script ./createPCB.sh pdf and you get an pdf with all outputs. that you can esaylie share or print. hopefully i could help you, just write me if you have any questions. best regards Michael On Jul 12, 2011, at 8:11 AM, CoBra wrote: > Hi everybody > > I'm working on a pretty big project which is essentially a Spectrum compatible computer, which will be published as open source when I finish it.
