I took a different approach which is a little more work. I added a field to my symbols called "loadstatus" which I mark for "no load", "through hole", or blank. Blank is the default, and means a SMT part that is loaded. It's not hard to use gnetlist -g bom2 (if I remember correctly) to slice out this field on your report to the board stuffer. Sort the resulting list to put the no-load parts at the bottom so that they're easy to ignore. I don't like the idea of stepping on the value field since then the schematic loses it's knowledge of what you might want to load at a later date. Be sure to include this field in your "attib" file so gnetlist grabs it as desired. Joe T

Or you can just set "value=NO FIT" (or DNP, DNI, etc.) and delete the relevant lines from the XY file by searching for that term....or write a script which post-processes the XY file and removes the DNP lines. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] [3]http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user References 1. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. mailto:geda-user@moria.seul.org 3. http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
