Exactly :-) Next step would be an additional grip in the middle of the track. Drag this grip to keep the ends of the track in place and move the two legs like a rubber band. This leaves you with an additional corner in the track. I used this feature with protel all the time. > I'm not sure > how it would work with other types of object in PCB though. I wouldn't bother. I can easily move components, pins and pads without grips. No need to stretch or skew them. If anything, some kind of optical feedback would be nice, to show which object the mouse actually hovers above. > Most of our work so far has been in gschem, and we're developing a GUI > frontend for gsch2pcb. Although I appreciate GUIs, eye-candy and such, I personally don't feel too uncomfortable with the command line version. After all, there is the power of bash to be tapped (scripting, history, command completion, ...). > Any ideas people have which might help make gEDA/PCB more usable without > sacrificing its excellent expert features, I'm sure all the developers > would be very interested to hear them on the list. Coincidently I started a whish list while I did two little pcbs with the freshly compiled gedagaf iso image. I will post the list in a thread on its own. Needs to be translated from German keywords to properly worded pleas to the developers... ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
