Yes it's copy/paste from OrCad, dont hate me ;-) So my short term goal is to come up with SVG semantics for symbols & footprints that fill the following criteria; 1. Render sensibly in an un-modified browser . 2. Allow import/export to a few common EDA packages, I'm sure you know the roll call. Obviously switching the internal file format is a huge effort and I wouldn't presume to suggest that at this point.
