Sounds like you've just invented a very awkward netlist and parts-list format, with each line having an explicit verb ;) There is of course functionality overlap between this and the existing netlist import code, but I guess if they are using the same code-paths underneath, that is fine. (I guess line-by-line processing of a netlist file in various formats could translate to the same calls as this action script). What is: ElementAddIf(C902,0.1uF,0603dj.fp) What about if that element is already on the board? Does it skip the add? Then you set attributes on it... if you're going with verbs, are you intending to have a verb to clear existing attributes, or do attributes which exist on an element, but not in the annotation file get kept? -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list geda-dev@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
