I'd certainly advocate 2D routing and placement. I do see two key reasons to include this function, though. 3D seems like a *very* useful addition for inspection and review prior to taping out. (I already like the transparency in gerbv.) Second, it makes for excellent screenshots which can attract new users to gEDA. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
