That was my impression as well. After kicking the tires for a while and finding important things it cannot do which my current CAD can do, most of the answers I received were along the lines of "can't do that right now", "needs a fork", "give some money, maybe someone will code this in" and so on. So I've hung up on gEDA for now. But this doesn't mean I won't check back in regularly because the idea of open source CAD is great. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
