I've done several medium-size boards with gschem and I've had to use a text editor for each one. I suggest you open the file in the editor and look at the file format docs. (It's a very simple format, actually). I just finished a pair of boards at 5:00 this morning (am I the only one who can only concentrate on layout work when I'm dead tired?) For the schematic capture part, I was bouncing between: - gchem - emacs - gattrib (spreadsheet-like attribute editor) - shell (eg: 'grep refdes= filename.sch | sort | uniq -d' for a list of duplicated reference designators) Once you learn how the parts fit together, the process works pretty well. If it's any comfort, gschem is user-interface heaven compared to pcb, the layout tool.
