> I mean, in footprints. It would mean changing: * the footprint file format * the pcb file format * the "element" internal structure * anything that moves/rotates elements * anything that calculates element bounding box * the drawing module * the autoroute modules (if we add new copper types) * the optimizer (if copper) * the DRC module * convert to/from element actions * perhaps a way to move/edit the text once the element it placed. So the simplest would be to add an ElementText[] item to the element file format, just for silk, you'd need to update file load/save, draw, crosshair (for moving the element, if you want the text shown while moving), bounding box, minimum. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
