# 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 provides 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.
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 autplace.
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-gsch2pcb |  | This package provides the external tool gsch2pcb-rnd that can convert a gschem schematics to files that can be imported in pcb-rnd.
