> And I think the only way to do ... in a non-kludgy way Yet another example of you automatically putting down any idea that isn't yours. Please stop that. Please consider the possibility that someone might come up with a better (or even equally good) idea than yours. Constructive criticism is welcome. Implied insults are not.

So, you're saying drills and outlines should be stored on "insulator" drawing layers and the "conductor" drawing layers should only contain the actual conductor shapes? That means a simple two-layer board is going to give the user three drawing layers, minimum, not including the [expected] silk/mask/paste. I suspect asking about that third layer will become a FAQ if we don't get the GUI right. It also means that the boundary for an inner conductor layer may be one of two possibilities - PCB would then need to know not just the stackup, but the manufacturing sequence - which insulator carries the conductor film before etching/printing. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
