Thanks muchly Bill! Hope it helps! And I just put up an 0.2 tarball with a change I think is for the better... the unfortunate thing about it is that it makes the behavior slightly different depending on if an element is found by gnetlist in the m4 database or if it is found as an element file by gsch2pcb. I talk about the change at the bottom of my web page and in the Changelog in the tarball, but in short, the change is that "footprint" info is inserted into the .pcb file for element files instead of "device" info that gnetlist inserts for elements from m4. This way gsch2pcb can add and remove your custom elements (not m4 elements) based on if the footprint changes because of for example a resistor wattage change, a TO-220 changing from a stand up to a lay down footprint, etc. Bill
