(I have never > tried it) I have looked at gEDA and it shows promise, but it needs to grow some std method of sizing the parts to an agreed upon std measurement method. When the parts library is 100% contributor generated, no two parts seem to be drawn to the same scale or orientation.

Lets just say that disposing of about 3 gallons of well spent ferric chloride, diluted with at least 1000 gallons of water, was sufficient to put a new medium sized cities sewage plant that had just been brought online a week before, into shutdown as the bronze impellers and housings of the pumps were destroyed. A mistake I will never make again by never using the stuff again. In that case it was shaddup time. Lesson learned even if it was 50+ years back up the logs. One of those "now it can be told" stories I guess. :( Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
