Engineering Comment Order
Maybe Engineering Change Order? some CAD use this term for forward/back
annotation...
Yes, or perhaps Engineering Command Order.
ECO was used in my previous EDA tool, but this was 15 years ago,
so I do nor remember exactly ...
I used it in Kicad as comment layers.
Another think... what does the ki in kicad stand for???
Just curious:P
No special meaning.
When I was searching for a name, I was searching a name with Cad
(Computer Aided Design) inside.
But most of names like Ecad, eecad, freecad ... were already in use, and
after a small brain storming, a friend of mine suggest me kicad.
The word was also something like an English word, and French guys are
strange guys: they like English words for names (and in the same time,
complain there are too many English words in use in French...)
I was pleased with this and used it.
