OK, I did some checking, and I now see that I overlooked the 'File
format' option when saving the design. The default 'lihata' format is
not PCB-compatible.
Still a bit strange though, as I started out with a geda/pcb file. But I
probably wasn't paying attention when saving it (and the first time I
used pcb-rnd, it was still from /trunk/src, without actually installing
it -- maybe this had something to do with it).
(There's a LOT of new stuff in pcb-rnd, and I haven't had time yet to
explore it all -- but knowing about the file formats saves me some
head-scratching :-)Â )
Anyway, thanks again,
Best regards,
Richard
