| * **gerbers**: A set of files sent to a fab representing the geometry of tracks, silk, solder mask and the outline of the board. Because each layer is represented by a separate file, it is customary to bundle them in a zip file. The offical name of the file format is "Gerber RS274X". See [[http://www.artwork.com/gerber/appl2.htm|this web page]] for a cursory description of the format and [[http://www.artwork.com/gerber/appl2.htm|this PDF]] for a comprehensive specification. | * **gerbers**: A set of files sent to a fab representing the geometry of tracks, silk, solder mask and the outline of the board.

| * **GTK-HID**: The GTK version of the pcb user interface. "HID" is an acronym for "human interface device". As the name sugests, GTK-HID uses the GTK+ widgetset and tries to comply with GTK usability standards.This is the default GUI of pcb. Menu and keyboard configuration is read from gpcb-menu.res. (See Lesstif-HID for an alternative) | * **GTK-HID**: The GTK version of the pcb user interface. "HID" is an acronym for "human interface device".

Menu and keyboard configuration read from ''pcb-menu.res'' try to comply with Lesstif usability standards. If you want to give this interface a try, you have to give the option ''--with-gui=lesstif'' at compile time. | + | * **Lesstif-HID**: The Lesstif version of the pcb user interface.

| * **net**: A net is the representation of a wire, or electrical connection in your schematic diagram. It is basically a line connecting two symbol pins. The term “net” is also sometimes used loosely to talk about an electrical connection (via a wire or PCB trace) in a real circuit. Some schematic capture tools call a net a “wire”. | * **net**: A net is the representation of a wire, or electrical connection in your schematic diagram.
