You don't need an action command to do it.. plugins can call any method from with PCB - so yes, they can do pretty much anything with the currently supported object types. (What they can't do is add support for new data-types and objects to the existing core). > Could be useful for RF work, antennas and such. Other than time (which would be the show-stopper if someone asked me to do it), the reason I personally haven't implemented this feature, is that I've never needed it in any of my designs. I don't do RF - and I wouldn't know what features would be useful to those who do. Btw.. LiquidPCB uses a similar approach, http://www.liquidpcb.org/ I believe it outputs boards in geda/PCB format. Check out their screen-shots! It looks to have come a long way since I last looked at it - so the suggestion that it uses (or exports to) PCB format may no longer be true. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
