Just being able to attach an attribute that said "this is a power net, use a larger trace" would be very handy--- and would have saved me screwing up a board or two where I accidentally put down a signal-sized trace instead... Seems like since PCB already gets device attribute information for footprints, etc. (at least indirectly), perhaps the mechanism it needs to get net attribute information is already there? b.g. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
