Actually, we have one big advantage: the pcb file format is ASCII. I would suggest you simply look at the diff between your previous version, saved as backup, and your new version after any step that you might consider "dangerous". I use a revision control system for my pcb files and always look at the diff before committing any updated version. You'll quickly get a sense of what "looks" right, even without knowing all of the details of the file format. Of course, I commit often enough for the diff to still be manageable. Being obsessive-compulsive has its charms ;-) Cheers, Jean-Francois _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
