What I mean is that the functionality should be part of Kicad, not this particular implementation. For those wondering why this is important — after we (day job, and every day job I’ve had since college) finish the board layout, we re-annotate the PCB so that the reference designators are geographical. This is purely for the benefit of the humans who assemble, rework and debug designs. When a board is a sea of parts, being able to find things by physical location makes life easier. There is already a Python script [1] which does this, and it works well. -a [1] https://hasanyavuz.ozderya.net/?p=256 > > 2018-01-14 22:24 GMT+01:00 Wayne Stambaugh <stambau...@gmail.com > <mailto:stambau...@gmail.com>>: > On 1/14/2018 3:20 PM, Andy Peters wrote: > > > > > >> On Jan 13, 2018, at 7:16 PM, Dan Weatherill <dan.weather...@cantab.net > >> <mailto:dan.weather...@cantab.net>> wrote: > >> > >> Dear all, > >> apologies first for the (unrelated to 5.0 stable) spam. > >> > >> I have been working for a while on a back-annotation tool for kicad.
