When I hold mouse over : one of the pins, a tooltip pops-up with the following lines: : : Element Name: U40 : Pin Name: U40-2 : Net Name: +5V : : I would expect the "Pin Name" to be "Vout" instead of U40-2. : The "board.cmd" script generated by gsch2pcb contains the following lines: : : [...] : # Start of element U40 : ChangePinName(U40, 2, Vout) : ChangePinName(U40, 1, GND) : ChangePinName(U40, 3, Vin) : [...] : : What am I missing? Maybe the command file did not get executed at all? : I've got no negative feedback either on STDERR or in Window->Message Log : pop-up.hs, though. Apparently pcb knows the pin names - when I do Shift-D and click on the U40 footprint, the pop-up window with a copy of the footprint with pin names is displayed. Having them displayed in the tooltip would be nice, though (should I add a feature request to some request-tracking system?). -Y. -- | Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak | | GPG: ID 1024/D3498839 Fingerprint 0D99A7FB206605D7 8B35FCDE05B18A5E | | http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/ Journal: http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/blog/ | Please don't top post and in particular don't attach entire digests to your mail or we'll all soon be using bittorrent to read the list. --Alan Cox
