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...

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...

Hello,i am a new user of FREEPCB,it's really powerful as a freeware.but while designing with it,i wonder if it has these two features: 1,Could FREEPCB set...
Greg, Someone has done that for us. Go to http://www.freepcb.com/ click on downloads, there you will find IPC7351-Least_v2.zip, IPC7351-Nominal_v2.zip and...
Not too sure what you want here. 1. sounds as if you are intending to use the autorouter. I believe there are methods to set a keepout for this - see the...
Philip,thanks for the reply,Let me clarify more 1,Actually,i wanna set an area which can't be routed,this area can keep out the routing trace automatically.So...
Try Freeroute with a small design to start with. Make sure you have a board outline defined. I just tried it and it worked OK. I think the 'KeepOut' uses a...
Hi Leon, Please read the FpcROUTE User Guide to see how to run a FreePCB project through Freerouter. The guide is included in the FpcROUTE distribution archive...
I can not seem to get the 'FPC Poly' program to install. I followed the install directions and still the screen just blinks and the program does not...
Hi Greg, Sorry to hear you're having trouble. If you are running under Vista, I think you need to be logged in as administrator to make changes/additions to ...
