And what would the problem be?

When you don't have gate/pin swap that's desiderable... ever had to find the 'best' permutation for a quad resistor pack or even worse a 7400? However for that cvpcb is not necessary, just need to do the netlist turnaround. And given that usually I take more time *thinking* of the best swap to do, the mechanical clicky time is more or less irrelevant :D -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
