Note that I meant "pop-up help within pcb" - we already use *.pcb files for many getting started guide and pcb manual illustrations. Imagine having PCB pop up a hint window which itself is a board layout, which demonstrates what you're trying to do - with text annotations etc. Thus, when you pop-up a help window, you can zoom, pan, do reports, *try* the hints, cut-n-paste, etc. Of course, it means supporting more than one layout at a time. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
