How are LCDs fastened to PCBs? They seem to be "glued" somehow to the circuit boards with some kind of conductive adhesive on the almost transparent edge...
Hi Harry As far as I know, no adhesive is used. Most LCD's are kept in place with a metal jacket, or the structure of the product casing. Between the pcb and ...
Some additional refinements and a bug fix. Fome the release notes: Fixed a plot bug that caused the frame on some plots to be too tall. Changed the startup to...

Does Freepcb allow you to drag tracks? When you are laying out it is usful to be able to nudge a track slightly to gain space and fit other parts and tracks...
Yes you can. Select the vertex (the junction of two segments) and then F4 will let you move the vertex which will drag the segments. You can also add a...
Excellent though it is, FreePCB does not (yet?) have a 'Move Segment' option - ie. select a line segment and move it while maintaining the angle and distance...

Nudging track segments is on my to-do list, but I'm not sure when I'll get to it. In the meantime, the quickest way to do this is to select the vertex at one...
