currently it does, and I need that functionality. When I import a new batch of components from gsch2pcb, they get disperses in a big area outside the outline, because inside there is half the layout already done. In the end, it's a DRC problem, so yes, the DRC may look for a layer with an outline attributes. That layer shall have a separate attribute for the placement wizard plugin, although the message is almost the same. -- Stephan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
