Thinking longer term, why not support DRC checking of inductance and resistance for specially tagged traces ? Of course most nets can simply be thought of as perfect conductors, but if we introduce the concept of a resistive and/or inductive trace it would be very helpful for making small inductors and resistors directly out of copper. My current design implements resistors of 2.5mOhms up to 0.25 ohms purely with copper. PCB's DRC doesn't understand and highlights these resistors in orange, but I can imagine a future PCB where I specified that a particular trace should have a resistance of (say) 10 mOhm and DRC would handle it gracefully. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
