Re: gEDA-user: gschem: Is it possible to draw a thicker net?

[andrew whyte <aw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robert,

  I've never seen anyone be anything but polite on this mailing list -
(and I've asked some daft questions).  Your question is interesting.

  AFAIK,  there isn't a way to make a line thicker, the only way
around your problem, that I can think of would be to draw rectangles
around the net (to make it appear thicker in your schematic) and name
the net something like VCC-thick, then when you layout out the design
in pcb you'll see the net name to remind you to make it thicker.

  There may well be a better way, anyone?

 I think I've seen something similar in Altium Summer '08,  I couldn't
work out if it was useful or not, the thicker lines made parts of my
schematic more jumbled. In the end I wasn't sure if it was any better
than a note on the schematics saying "make this line thicker"?  Some
way to specify the minimum thickness of a net would be great,  I think
that this can only be done globally at the moment in pcb though.

Hope that this helps


Andrew

Hallo all,

I'm new to this mailinglist so please be gentle.

My question:
Is it possible to make a net thicker in gschem (not a line but a net).
I want to indicate in my schematic than the net is a high current power
net.

Thanks for your answers.
Best regards, Robert.
