Re: gEDA-user: import of PCB models and footprints

[Ray Schumacher <subscriber100@xxxxxxx>]

   Thank you Andrew,
   I'll look into whether Eagle can import them as well, for a start.

   seems a simple script, if the premises still hold. "
// These are needed for some reason...

   " is a telling problem. I could do it in Python quicker.
   I could also create the one symbol in geda faster, but the Spice model
   is another thing.

     Ray,
       For symbols,  I think that you might find
     [[2]http://gedasymbols.org/footprints/] useful, I've found a way to
     view
     installed footprints from pcb : "window->Library" shows you the
     footprints - but I don't know of a way to do this in gschem (where
     I
     really need to know which footprints I have).
       As for converters:  The question has been asked

     but never got any of them to work.  They tend to be scripts that
     someone got to work once, and put out there - there isn't much need
     to
     maintain a one-shot script.  If it's any consolation,  you'd still
     have to check a converted footprint (especially if the re
       A while back I looked at the standard for PCB layout:
     [[5]http://landpatterns.ipc.org/default.asp], the footprint
     database is
     free, but the eula for the viewer had lots of anti-reverse
     engineering
     clauses.  The database is plaintext and I looked at converting it
     to
     pcb, but gave up when I realised that in order to open the viewer
     to
     check if my conversion was correct, I would violate thier contract.
     Kind Regards
