I think we should try to find a better name for the connection between two nodes in a net, maybe segment? > For lists of 3 or more pins attributes like length or impedance > don't make any sense, > so this appears to me a bit like sound and smoke. > > Sure, there exist attributes which make sense only for traces between two nodes. Impedance for PCB traces is independent of length, so it may still make some sense for nets with more than 2 nodes. (Max-)Length is a property which must be defined for nets with more than 2 nodes -- maybe max-length means that each segment is not longer than this value, or that point to point distance is smaller for all pairs? _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
