I don't think, usability of pcb suffers from deviation of some kind of official norms. Still, it helps to look how other applications GUIs handle similar problems. Some techniques have evolved over the years and proved to work better than others. Applications whose UI is rather pecular tend to loose users. I dumped qcad because of this. The latest version did a major step in this direction with the ability to zoom with the mouse wheel. (Thanks to Peter Brett, IIRC) The next basic UI feature on my wish list would be visual handles for tracks and objects. I think, I mentioned this before. Just take it as a reminder on how to make a user happy ;-) ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
