However, there's no arbitrary limit - I think we're limited to 2 million inches per side on 32-bit hosts. > Is there a program available like the DxDatabook from Mentor > DxDesigner where you can have your inventory of parts with part > number, symbol, footprint already assigned and you can select the > part and "place" the symbol on the schematic along with its > attributes? Search the mail archives for the "light vs heavy symbol" debate. The current library is light symbols, but you can always create your own modified library with heavy symbols. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
