I don't think I've seen this question addressed in the list archives... is it possible to take any sort of netlist fragment and make a rudimentary gschem schematic from it?
I realize that I'd have a rats-nest of nets and components to place (similar to starting a PCB design from a netlist), but I'm looking for a way to basically disperse the components on the schematic to make it easier to sort things out. I have a few reasons for wanting to do this-- the most down-to-earth being that I have a set of scripts that create netlists for PADS PowerLogic to automate schematic capture of FPGAs and their associated pin names (as obtained from the output of the FPGA vendor's place-and-route tools). Another potential application (also borrowed from PADS) is to enable component renumbering based on location on a PCB, or other such ECO-style changes (back-annotation, basically). -- Charles Lepple <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ghz.cc/charles/
