I'm wondering how the library issue would be handled. Presumably, it reads the Eagle library and spits out symbol information as part of the ascii? > after some creative editing to make output format match geda, it > should be fairly feature compelte > > On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 1:36 PM, al davis <ad...@freeelectron.net> wrote: <snip> >> >> I proposed a translator system, using an intermediate language, >> to translate both ways between schematic, layout, and >> simulation. It needs to happen. Really? Is there a use for gEDA->Eagle? I never would have cared about Eagle, except that the RepRap PCB's are done with Eagle. Now, why someone would do open source hardware with closed source tools is a mystery to me... but anyway.... so far in a total of 30 minutes of Eagle usage I've discovered: 1) the crippleware version only allows a single schematic sheet, leading people to create unreadable glop, and 2) printing is truly bizarre. I can't imagine someone going from gEDA to the free/crippled version of Eagle. And as to going to the commercial version, OK I can see some customer requiring that, but isn't that Eagle's problem? After all, nobody is hiding gEDA's file formats. -dave _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
