Crappy I know, but we didn't finish all the timeouts and error messages properly yet. Since I recall you were having issues with xgsch2pcb, I wondered if your PCB might be missing DBUS support. From a terminal, run: dbus-monitor | grep pcb Then open and close PCB. (From a different terminal) I get on my machine (with PCB built with DBUS support): string "org.seul.geda.pcb" string "org.seul.geda.pcb" string "org.seul.geda.pcb" string "pcb" string "Unnamed (Unsaved.pcb) - PCB" string "Unnamed (Unsaved.pcb) - PCB" string "org.seul.geda.pcb" > > There is also a new "File" -> "Import Schematics" option which DJ > > produced, which you might like to look at as an alternative to > > xgsch2pcb. > I tried this (see another reply of mine to the mailing list), but right > now, it doesn't seem all that user-friendly, to put it mildly. As Peter Brett and I developed xgsch2pcb, I'm pretty happy with using that myself - so I'll confess that I've not used the new "Import schematics" functionality on an actual project. That said.. I've not started an actual project since that functionality was introduced. Either way, I can't really comment - other than "it looked ok" when I gave it a cursory testing. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
