It is not only pcb that "reads" the schematic, but humans, too. During debugging I need to know which pins to poke my probe at. This is only possible, if the schematic shows actual pin numbers. > Would it make > more sense, from a design flow perspective, to just send the symbolic > information to pcb and let pcb assign footprints and pinouts?

Is there any other EDA software that does footprint selection and slotting in the layout tool? ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
