I suppose the problem will not show when DB25-1.sym and DB25f.fp are used without editing. My requirement is a 21 pin connector which has staggered pins like DB25 but with numbered serially i.e. staggered, unlike DB25, which has row-wise numbering. Also pin spacing is 100 mil instead of 50 mil in DB25. So, I tried editing coordinates and numbers in the 25f.fp file. This did not match with numbering in symbol file which was also edited, suitably. Finally relocating Pin & ElementLine in the order of pin numbers(desired) and changing the numbers in quotes also in the same order, worked as solution. Iam attacing both the edited files. I request help confirming this editing has no loopholes. BTW, is there simillar connector in newlib folder. I do not notice any. My versions are gEDA/gschem version 1.4.0.20080127 & PCB version 20080202, default package version of Ubuntu 8.10. Will upgrading to 1.4.3 help? vsrk sarma 2009/3/19 vsrk sarma <[1]vsrksiva@xxxxxxxxx> As a new user to geda &PCB i have some queries. I notice the pin numbers (given in pcblib-newlib footprint files such as DB25f.fp) listed in quotes inside text files are not used and PCB renumbers the pins in the sequence they appear in the text file of .fp ). Is my obsevation correct? s there any purpose for which numbers in qoutes such "5" can be used? Do these numbers correspond I find it more cofusing because footprint when opened in PCB doesn't show up pin numbers. -- vsrk sarma _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [2]geda-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [3]http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user -- vsrk sarma References 1. mailto:vsrksiva@xxxxxxxxx 2. mailto:geda-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 3. http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
