Not having back annotation IS soooo 80's. Slots could disappear and I wouldn't miss them. I think the best of ECAD still handles back annotation as a to-do list of edits the schematic drawer does. Just that would be plenty valuable without any schematics-drawn-on-auto. Symbols drawn on auto -- now that would be handy for chip design and hierarchic pcb design. I think we are fairly close to auto-drawn-symbols. If we made a program to generate a symbol from the gnetlist-verilog netlist, the port lists could be put so inouts are at bottom ins at left and outs at right and also put out a shorthand symbol description file in djboxsym format, one could rework the symbol quickly.
