What do you think about setting route-styles on a per-layer basis.
That could work before we get virtual layer groups. One would have to create layers that "go together" so when a trace changes to another layer in the group that goes together, the trace width stays the same... I think virtual layers is a concept that would speed results for beginners, since it simplifies a necessary part of designing multilayer boards. If you want an interface for dirt simple cases, make a separate user interface. Most of us here don't think of GUI programming as easy/fun, so want one GUI for everything, thus the goal is usually to keep it user configurable. A user configurable 2-layer board GUI and user configurable 6 layer board GUI would be great to distribute as optional ways to setup after building the source. Default it to keep the users config, and ship with 2-layer-GUI for new installs to use, but put a big note in the README that all you do to start out with "6 layer" GUI is load an example gschemrc.6-layer and ~/.pcb/preferences.6-layer ~/.pcb/settings.6-layer etc. JG _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
