Hello! I just watched DJ's interview and the talk about ben mode export. I was amazed how nice pictures it produced. I also checked DJ's website and saw the tricks that he had already made to make "real" card. How long has this feature been there? Because I used something like version 2007 last time and now I've noticed some nice changes. I really love the snap to component lead feature in gschem. Anyway I started to think could it be possible to write tool that populates the PCB? First we know the footprint. There are the legs. Then we need case. Selecting from few different cases it could be possible to select desired case. Size could be little bit smaller than outline in footprint. And then the last thing is add text and resistor ribbons. This information is required before the picture is exported. And when we export image, these pictures are pasted on picture. Few lines of text and hell to code and even harder to implement. Has anyone already thought this kind of system? Hannu Vuolasaho
