This may be more a issue of adding layers to the schematic design than a comment token in the file format. Perhaps we could add user defined layers for this and just use the current text object with a layer definition. Of course this would require a layer manager and the code to support layers. This may also be something to push off until version 2. I am primarily focusing on the missing schematic to board features pin & gate swapping, diff pair assignment, and possibly net ties for the initial work. Please keep in mind, we want to have a stable release some time around FOSDEM next year. We need to be realistic in our goals. > >> Is there any workaround for this at moment? >> >> Regards, >> Mario Luzeiro >> _______________________________________________ >> Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers >> Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net >> Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers >> More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
