I am tring to load a board I made over a year ago but do not seem to have the right files. I have a jpg of the screen layout within FreePcb and I also have an...
When you load the .FPC file into FreePCB, make sure you have all the correctly layers visible in the selection list on the left. The selection details are...
Rick, Thanks for the reply but I checked and all the layers are on and show all is also selected. The components are showing in a group (not laid-out or...
It sounds like this is a version of the file prelayout. Loosing the finished file is one of my biggest nightmares. That is one reason why I prefer not to...
Rick, Its a small footprint with about 15 components and 4 cable terminal holes. As I said I even have a jpg of the FreePcb final layout... just no actual...
Sympathies, Chris, A straw to grasp before sinking:- is there a file '*.fpc.bak' with a later date? If so you may be lucky - try opening that AFTER you save a...
I am new to the Free PCB world and really enjoy the power of the software. I am looking for a free schematic drawing software that suports Free PCB net lists....
I have several devices in my design that have multiple pins internally connected. I'd like the freedom to be able to select either or both pins to connect to...

Shawn, Don't be too quick to dismiss TinyCAD. The original developer quit upgrading it in (I think) '06 but another has undertaken the task. I'm sure the...

I keep getting this message when creating some footprints: Error: Trying to write bad pad shape in footprint I can't figure out why. I am creating parts like I...
I was trying to search previous messages to see if my question had already been asked. I get no results...no matter what I search for. I even put in "FreePCB"...
This seems to be some versions of FreePCB inserting some extra lines in the pad definition. Forum/Bug Reports Message thread [V1.347a Footprint editor] Jun...
http://www.freepcb.com/ 'User Forum' tab on left side of page. I'm not sure that there is a solution to it or if it can just be ignored for the present. I've...
All, I just updated the FpcLib and FpcRef utilities in the files section. FpcLib can now create rotated versions of existing footprints. FpcRef now has the...
Unlikely that you will unless someone has done some and uploads them. Even so its unlikely they will be the ones you want. There's nothing very special about...
is this freepcb can be used like the orcad..like simulating the transistors ,fets and i am new to freepcb but i am fed up with the license problems of the...
... FreePCB does not support anything other than board layout. But there are free packages available that will do analog simulation. One I use is LTspice,...
I have a couple of things that I am having trouble with. The first is the board mounting holes. I just do not see a way of putting them in without creating a...
... I don't think you can add a mounting hole without it being a part. I was told to always add parts to the schematic for mounting holes and any other...
This function does not seem to work correctly. I get the right multiples of images but not the spacing I entered into the edge to edge spacing box. Is this a...
Chris, It works but maybe not the way you expect. The "Number of boards" X and Y is obvious but the "Spacing edge-edge" refers to the gap between copies not...
Okay...I did it again...350 mils is not .350! that is the second time this had gotten me. Actually, I found the step and repeat in the gerber viewer and got...
