I don't, even when I need to make that conversion. It offers no real advantages over just running gsch2pcb, and a significant disadvantage, which I will call "kick me". Just adding a graphic wrapper around one tool doesn't give me anything. By adding a few buttons to push, usually in a routine, it makes the interface worse. This is what I mean by "kick me". I need to kick it to keep it going. A project manager needs to take care of that automatically, without being kicked. I want to have a schematic, layout, and simulation, smoothly without explicitly asking for every step of the conversion. It's fine if there are several tools under the hood, but the user should not need to kick it for every step and every choice. _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
