there are a huge number of gnetlist backends. some for layout, some for simulation, some for information. But one example is PADS. At one time (perhaps still) a pads schematic license cost extra over the layout license. I've been in a situation where I needed to drive a pads layout and gschem worked quite easily for that. Thats why the pads_backannotate script comes with gEDA. Why would you do this today? Maybe you have a contract layout person who uses pads, maybe you have a large vetted footprint library in pads in house, maybe political pressures dictate it. In any event, its a nice feature. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
