Yeah, that would be cool. However, rectangles are just one simplification of polygons; they're stored as four-point polys internally. How do we convert an arbitrary polygon? We can't, really. And when you convert back to parts (break up the element), do you use lines or rectangles? Not insurmountable problems, but reasons why we went with the easy options ;-) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
