I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which updated gEDA. Everything
works well except a couple of minor annoyances. I may be doing
something wrong. Here are my questions:
1. I tried to change the default rat thickness in PCB by including the
line 'rat-thickness = 2' in the file '~/.pcb/preferences', according to
the online documentation (which may be out of date?). This works as
expected the first time I start PCB after that file edit, but when I
quit PCB, that line seems to disappear! If I don't re-edit
'~/.pcb/prefernces', next time I start PCB the rats have their default
thickness.
2. In the version of PCB that came with Ubuntu 11.11, traces were not
transparent if I remember correctly, so the trace of the active layer
was in the foreground. Is there any way to revert to that behavior in
the PCB version which came with the upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
3. Is there any documentation on how the 'Import Schematics' option works?
4. If the new PCB has 1nm resolution, as has been discussed on this
board, I don't see it. The finest grid available as an option is only
0.01mm, just like before the upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Am I missing
something?
