quick question to any "pcb" users (open source geda tools):
I have a layout completed and I tried to create a copper pour with the "rectangle" function but realized that my default clearance of 10 mil (traces) is wayyy too small.
I believe its possible to change this individually (by clicking on each trace) but is there a way to change this setting FOR ALL TRACES at once? do I have to edit the layout file under VIM or is there an easier way?
thanks
Select -> Select All Objects
:ChangeClearSize(selected,+10,mil) :ChangeClearSize(selected,=2,mm)
The command line window (":") allows a lot of flexibility, but you need to read the "Action Reference" appendix of the manual to know what to type in.
Note that pcb's plugin system hooks into the command line, so if you need something that's not already there, it's pretty easy to write a new module, put it in ~/.pcb, and invoke it from the command window.
thanks man. I read about this briefly some months back. After post, I am going now reread that section of the manual.
