AFAIK, Rockhopper only outputs .svg, so the usual procedure is to scale it up far enough in inkscape to be able to read the logic block titles, and convert that to something poster-izer can make into multipage pdf files. A long, drawn out procedure that still takes a paper cutter to trim off the borders, and half a roll of scotch magic tape to assemble. There has got to be a better way than going to all that, then comparing the logic flow you get with Rockhopper with the addf order to find those sorts of mistakes in an 800 + LOC hal file. Maybe it hasn't been written yet, in which case this is a plea to get it written. I think a tool like that would be worth a lot of sliced bread or bottled beer. But no alu cans allowed here, too big a connection between an alu can and dementia. I do have a beer a day, but I can count on one hand the "cans" of beer I've drunk in the last 40 years. Right now, we're out of water, looks like the copper to plastic joint about 3 feet beyond the meter has sprung a leak. In 29 years here in this teeny subdiv, we are the only ones who haven't had fix our water line, so I guess its our turn. But the idijit from the water co. screwed the lid back onto the meter pit when he left, so it looks like I'm going to have to make a 5 pointed wrench so I can turn it back on long enough to flush the john once in a while. And the area is full of tree roots about 1/2" thick, making a mexican backhoe about 2x the work for an old fart like me, plus its around 95F out, so I'm not pushing me even if I do have a T-shirt that says I get paid by the hour. :) Country boy dumb, but not that stupid... -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
