Hi there,

I want to put the open-source hardware logo on silkscreen on my first
gEDA project but could not figure out how to do it. Is there a quick
tutorial on pasting images or how buffers work?

I tried two ways:

1) copy/paste silkscreen between two pcb files:

Downloaded a pcb with oshw symbols from here:
https://www.evilmadscientist.com/2011/the-open-source-hardware-logo/

I can make an element out of a selected symbol, but how do I save it to
a file and then paste it into the silkscreen layer of my design file?

2) Better, I tried to make a pcb symbol from a logo. However,
Pcb won't save the element from buffer unless it has a via or pin.

To make matters worst :), I'm using a raspberry pi 3b to design my
project :), so the pcb version is older (20140316).

Thank you very much,
