You're not also checking the bug tracker, though. It *also* has tags
for next/future bug/feature releases. So there are four "milestones"

Layout-level Attributes:

It's documented in the Import() action in pcb.pdf.

If you just add pages, you have to list all of them in the gsch2pcb project
file. That way
I was double checking a pcb layout today and I discovered a rather nasty
gotcha. It seems that gschem and PCB don't agree on which end of a diode
should be pin 1. Gschem views pin 1 as the anode and PCB considers pin 1
to be the cathode. It doesn't prevent you from laying out a board
correctly,

I don't think it's a problem, if the HID can keep track of its
displays and update them accordingly. The lesstif hid, for example,
always does a full redraw when it's idle

I put a master roadmap here:

I think we've hit some of them, so it needs updating.
The way it works is: things get added to the wish list, then moved up
to the release milestones by the admins as we plan for the future.

One of my "dream projects" is to do a GUI for pcb that uses two or
more monitors, with one monitor heavy on the toolbars and showing an
overview "thumber" window, and the other monitor being 100% layout.

I thought about that... making different footprints that don't
have copper on the component side of the pins. Since that would require
making new footprints for pretty much everything, I was hoping for a
different solution... :) It seems like it would be a relatively common

Thanks. I will try with the newer version.

You can just keep adding pages, as long as your nets are named. Nets
with the same names get merged when you netlist, as do components with
the same refdes.

Hello,
I'm trying to find more info about using mulit-page schematics for gEDA
Is it required to use hierarchy for multi-page schematics or can I just
continue adding pages in the design ?
