Thanks. Now I understand. However, I don't think, modern graphics are verb/noun only. Inkscape manages to do both: You can choose a tool and then an object, or select objects and then choose a tool. Come to think of it, the GUI of my commercial 3D CAD tool, varicad, is strictly verb/noun oriented. You can't even select objects without an explicit choice of tools. A GUI paradigm present in most graphical GUIs are visible handles of selected objects. Its absence in pcb was irritating when I started using the application. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list geda-dev@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
