I'm looking at it a step further away - the fwd anno file includes all the info about the pcb *that comes from the schematic*. PCB will integrate this "desired" list with the board's "actual" list and update it accordingly. I don't want the netlister to *ever* have to read the pcb file to find out what's already in there. I prefer to draw the line between "things that need to know about the schematic format" and "things that need to know about the pcb format". > This implies that gsch2pcb must be able to read and parse a .pcb > file, I'd rather avoid this, and I don't think it's needed anyway. _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list geda-dev@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
