Both of these. We'd need a file format change, editing code, display code, DRC changes, autorouter changes, optimizer changes, connectivity checks, buffer conversions, etc. It is generally agreed that, if we're going to do that much work anyway, it would be better to redesign the internals to have a concept of "sub-layout" and have elements just be a special case of those. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
