Source is always right obviously... but if you can you should try to be independant of the field order, in kicad's file this is not too difficult (usually there is a record type marker): if you get an f, you have a file, if you get alias an alias, and so on until the end-of-part marker. If you already have done something similar think about how DXF are read... -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
