No, it is a harder task - for the reasons I outlined in the last email. The piece you've quoted above also cites a non-technical reason why it doesn't fit the normal UI paradigm of copy+paste. Did you mean cross-probing by "transfer of selection"? That is possible too, but still requires a project level overview of how the netlister will transform refdes and netnames etc.. Perhaps you could elaborate what Protel95 allows you to transfer. Please bear in mind that until a lot of other work is done in gEDA, transfer between apps which needs to know your workflow is not going to happen! -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
