Well, you can do *your* projects that way, but that makes reuse by a project with different parts selection criteria difficult and tedious. Remember that the new project may be a derivative of the old, but with new components. Right now, I'm putting together a new rev of an old project. The biggest change is 0603->0402 when possible, so we can make it smaller. That's a lot more tedious with embedded components, but with project symbols I only have to worry about the handful of exceptional components that can't shrink. > > ---<(kaimartin)>--- > -- > Kai-Martin Knaak > http://lilalaser.de/blog > > > > _______________________________________________ > geda-user mailing list > geda-user@moria.seul.org > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user > John Doty Noqsi Aerospace, Ltd. http://www.noqsi.com/ j...@noqsi.com _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
