Ok, thanks for explaining, next time I'll register before filing. >> Since the file format is open in gschem it would probably be possible to >> correct this problem with some kind of nifty "find and replace" routine. >> However, I am not much of programmer, otherwise I'd do it and share. > > I'm not familiar with how the various renumbering utilities work, so > I'll leave it to their respective authors rather than getting into it > too deep myself. > > I've noticed through usage that gschem's internal renumbering utility > doesn't like it when I've got slotted components though - so if no-one > else looks at fixing it, I might give it an attempt. > That would be cool. I could imagine lots of people having a problem with it. Mostly in the analog or low-noise digital world where slotted devices need to be on their own personal RC-filtered supply net. I am not a programmer but one method I could imagine would be to have a switch that disallows splintering up slotted devices, meaning the devices can get other refdeses but it must be the same for all slots of a device. It's the same for transistor arrays when temperature-tracking will be lost if slots are mixed up. I believe it would be ok to do such disallow or allow as a general setting, for the whole schematic. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
