Well, assuming we actually record *all* the data. My point was, whatever data we care about, we do the least amount of processing on, unless the backend asks for it. I didn't expect *everything* to be read in *exactly*. > You left out layout, That would be "back-annotation info". In my world, PCB asks for the netlist, so it needs to figure out how to tell gnetlist what its data is. > so I guess you mean reading data about physical stackup in 3D is not > desirable for gnetlist. I kinda agree -- it would be hard for > gnetlist to output that without a lot of physical layout code. Right, but gnetlist needs to know about, for example, pin swapping. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
