OK. Actions can create lines can't they? If so, maybe a plugin is a way to get many little line segments that can be DRC'd well as is, and with less special case geometry math compared to building it in. Peter C. was musing about how the way data is handled in pcb is already turning a smooth analytic curve into PWL segments, so I'm musing about practical approaches to adding "rotatable curvy traces", (not lines). I'd like to know if the plugin method can create a trace segment that will DRC to be a connected gnetlistable trace as is. IOW is there an action command to create a line segment? Could be useful for RF work, antennas and such. John _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
