There is a draft spec: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qXwFPbYOwFXRNvjRN5BttRX_4esEDdYDt1cOpOmNc8A/edit?usp=sharing
I will check it out. Thanks On 8/27/20 9:41 PM, Jon Evans wrote:
This is basically what I'm thinking, except I was planning to integrate it into the symbol chooser as well (so no need to open cvpcb if you don't desire)
How does your workflow looks like? I mean when I create for example a buck converter I place all the symbols, the choosen integrated circuit ... , but I just use a symbol for the diode or the inductor and set some values. At the end I'm searching parts which fit the requirements and then I can choose the footprint. I think for parts like diodes inductors and so you don't choose the exact part at design beginning.

I have a private branch that stores symbols and footprints in a MySQL database
Using a Database is complicated for community work. On textbased stuff everybody can contribute. So an interface is needed so that the community can help to build up the database. I think it is a lot of work to create a database which is usable.
