My personal nickname for this idea is 'tetris placement'. You know how tetris shows you the next piece and then you place it... So there'd be a window with a vertical column of parts. You'd place the bottommost one and they'd all slide down. It would choose the order using algorithms like I envisioned for 'smart disperse' -- it'd give you an LED and then its resistor, for example. You'd be able to defer the current part or just resort the list around a new starting point. -- 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
