My testing (confirmed just now), suggests that it is the first element which is respected, not the last. I tested the gsch2pcb backend directly running it with "gnetlist -g gsch2pcb ...." Which version of gEDA are you using, and can you confirm you're seeing use the last object in prescience to any others? If we're seeing different behaviours, either something has changed without us realising (bad), or the ordering is less determinate than I thought. Ales and I agree I think, that the correct solution here, is to teach gnetlist to take the union of attributes from all slots for points where it is retrieving attributes of a component by name. I don't know what might happen in the case where two slots had conflicting attributes. Perhaps this is something for a design rule checker to highlight. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
