I've been thinking about a "PCB Tetris" plugin (or possibly it will have to be a HID change). It would use the SmartDisperse() algorithm (or one yet smarter) to choose a part order and just start feeding you parts. If you didn't want to place a particular part you could push it to the back, or force it to recalculate from any new starting part. You'd see a window showing you the sequence of parts as it was going to feed them to you... -- Ben Jackson AD7GD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ben.com/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
