You don't know what you are missing, Dennis. The Synchronizer is faster to use, you can make it almost one-button if you like (but there are still some dialogs). It uses the same macro creation process, apparently, as does the Netlist Load process. In addition, it correctly handles multiple pads with the same name in the same footprint. I only generate a net list when I need to visually inspect it because of some problem or other, which is rare. And I am an old-time net lister. Dennis might remember some jobs I did for him and one which he did for me, something like fifteen years ago, complex multilayer boards done with tape and mylar. I used to create a net list from each of the layers (numbering the vias) and pull all the layer lists together with a Commodore computer. Another list was made from the schematic and the lists were compared. Errors did not survive that process. Sometimes on the cheap I would just mark off the net list against the schematic, which was almost as good.
