# pcb-rnd - Debian package list

name | internal dependencies | description
--- | --- | ---
pcb-rnd | pcb-rnd-core, pcb-rnd-gtk, pcb-rnd-gerber, pcb-rnd-lpr, pcb-rnd-png, pcb-rnd-propedit, pcb-rnd-query, pcb-rnd-report, pcb-rnd-svg, pcb-rnd-xy | pcb-rnd is load/save compatible with gEDA/PCB and kicad and offers various auxiliary import/export formats. This metapackage installs the core and the most commonly used set of plugins.
pcb-rnd-core |  | This package contains the core program. Most functionality, including the GUI frontend, is in the corresponding plugin package.
pcb-rnd-gtk | pcb-rnd-core | This package contains the GTK+ user-interface for pcb-rnd.
pcb-rnd-lesstif | pcb-rnd-core | This package contains the Lesstif/Motif user-interface for pcb-rnd.
pcb-rnd-autocrop | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides the autocrop feature that can resize the board to minimum around all the existing objects.
pcb-rnd-autoplace | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides the autoplace feature used to place elements automatically and offers two different algorithms to do so.
pcb-rnd-autoroute | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides the classic gEDA/pcb autorouter.
pcb-rnd-diag | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides actions for debugging/diagnostic purposes. This feature may be needed for reporting bugs.
pcb-rnd-distalign | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides actions for arranging elements in an array.
pcb-rnd-distaligntext | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides actions for arranging text objects in an array.
pcb-rnd-djopt | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides actions to clean up (optimize) tracks. It is especially useful after autorouting.
pcb-rnd-gcode | pcb-rnd-core | This package allows exporting the design to gcode, useful for CNC milling.
pcb-rnd-gerber | pcb-rnd-core | This package allows exporting the design to gerber, accepted by most PCB fab houses.
pcb-rnd-lpr | pcb-rnd-core | This package allows printing directly from the GUI, using lpr.
pcb-rnd-nelma | pcb-rnd-core | This package allows exporting the design to nelma, for numerical capacitance calculation (via external tool)
pcb-rnd-png | pcb-rnd-core | This package allows exporting the design in various bitmap formats, including png and jpeg.
pcb-rnd-svg | pcb-rnd-core | This package allows exporting the design in SVG, the Scalable Vector Graphics format. It is useful for publishing the design on the web.
pcb-rnd-xy | pcb-rnd-core | This package allows exporting the design in XY, suitable for pick∧place machines.
pcb-rnd-fontmode | pcb-rnd-core | This package lets the user to turn the GUI into a PCB font editor.
pcb-rnd-fp-wget | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides a wget based footprint accessor, which allows integrating web directories of footprints in the library. The only currently supported site is gedasymbols.org.
pcb-rnd-edif | pcb-rnd-core | This package allows pcb-rnd to import netlists in the EDIF format.
pcb-rnd-mincut | pcb-rnd-core | This package upgrades the indication of short circuits: instead of highlighting two random pins/pads, it tries to determine the minimal-cut that would resolve the short. In practice this means it makes a suggestion where to cut the networks to remove the short circuit.
pcb-rnd-oldactions | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides some old user actions. These are not used daily anymore, but some old actions scripts may still depend on them.
pcb-rnd-polycombine | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides actions to combine (merge) multiple polygons into a single, more complex polygon.
pcb-rnd-propedit | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides the property editor function for the GUI. The property editor collects all properties and attributes of all selected objects in a table and allows the user to change them.
pcb-rnd-puller | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides actions to "pull" tracks, minimizing their length.
pcb-rnd-query | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides the query language used in the advanced search on the GUI.
pcb-rnd-renumber | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides various actions to automatically renumber elements on the design. These actions change the refdes of some (or all) elements.
pcb-rnd-report | pcb-rnd-core | This package used to provide the report action that displays basic information about design objects. Unlike propedit, report does not allow the user to manipulate any of the data reported. At the moment report is compiled into the core, this package is kept for compatibility and placeholder.
pcb-rnd-shand-cmd | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides 1..2 character long shorthands for the most commonly used core commands.
pcb-rnd-smartdisperse | pcb-rnd-core | This package implements a smart algorithm to disperse elements. It is useful after importing a new design from the schematics. It is an alternative to autoplace.
pcb-rnd-stroke | pcb-rnd-core, pcb-rnd-gtk | This package implements mouse gestures using libstroke.
pcb-rnd-teardrops | pcb-rnd-core | This package embeds each pin in a teardrop drawn from multiple arcs. May be useful for toner-transfer boards.
pcb-rnd-vendordrill | pcb-rnd-core | This package provides vendor drill mapping and vendor specific design rule application.
pcb-rnd-kicad | pcb-rnd-core | This package allows pcb-rnd to load and save in kicad's s-expression based (new) file format.
pcb-rnd-gsch2pcb |  | This package provides the external tool gsch2pcb-rnd that can convert a gschem schematics to files that can be imported in pcb-rnd.
