I think the fundamental problem is that we're mixing core actions (like setting the layer stackup) with GUI actions (like which side we're viewing). That's why the png exporter has it's own "other side" option.
Perhaps we could extend the option which sets the visible layer stack to figure out (or specify) which side we're looking at, to at least set the side flag (but not any gui-specific flip/rotate settings)? This is the option you use with, for example, the eps exporter to specify the layer stacking order. That way, we can set the "which side is up" flag separately from the GUI actions to arbitrarily reposition the board. Otherwise, we'd need to put the board orientation in the core, and that would complicate things like the GLX 3-d view, which has tons of position information, at the expense of simpler exporters like Gerber which don't have a board orientation. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
