What I did was have a gsch2pcb for the common schematics, to edit the common part of the pcb. Then I gsch2pcb'd the full set, used a pcb script to merge the common pcb with the specific pcb, and DRC it. That's how I got 16 identical channels on the powermeter board.
I suppose one could use the common PCB to create a background image for the specific pcb fragment, so you knew where the connections went. Alternately, you could have a script that locked everything from the common board as they're merged into the specific board, so that they can be identified and re-merged later. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
