I would hope that the multi-channel rooms could be used with an external netlist from a different schematic capture package as well. A majority of my netlists come from Orcad and this feature could be a great value to me once it is debugged. I have been following Tim's posts but I'm not sure this can be set up independent of schematic. If so, that is very promising as it is quite tedious to maintain a multi-channel board.
