I agree with Kai on this. Moving back'n'forth between PCB and text breaks the undo/redo history and I frequently get interrupted and then forget which editor - PCB or text - has the changes I want. One feature that I use quite frequently in Inkscape (vector graphics program) is the ability to bring up the XML data and manipulate it directly. It parses into a nice tree and clicking on a leaf brings up the XML data directly related to that leaf.
I've yet to dig into PCB's innards, but I'd be willing to help code this with a bit of mis/in/direction... Give me a holler, on- or off-list, if you can provide a little guidance. -Ethan Kai-Martin Knaak wrote: > On Tue, 03 Feb 2009 07:14:28 -0500, Ethan Swint wrote: > > >> The way I do this is to put my mouse over a via in the appropriate net, >> hit 'F' for 'Find', save the file.
