Hi, I'm new to the electronic circuit design world and just went through the gschem and pcb tutorial on seul.org. In my case, however, the output is not a PCB, but a terminal strip using DIN rail components; e.g. connector blocks from Phoenix Contact (http://www.phoenixcontact.ca/)
My dilemma is: for design purposes I'd like to create a nice simple circuit diagram of the kind created by pschem; however, for actually building the device I need a second diagram showing the terminal blocks and connections between them. I'm leery of maintaining two separate diagrams and would like to have the second generated semi-automatically from the first, much like the PCB layout is generated from the schematic. I was wondering whether anyone has ideas about this or experience to share. If this is not possible, my fallback plan is to give up on a simple circuit diagram and use gschem to create a diagram showing the terminal blocks themselves. Has anyone done this? I didn't see any blocks in the device library, but it should be possible to create simple rectangular items to represent them. Thanks in advance for any ideas, -Steve
