If the text in footprints should behave like any other text, I'd say pretty hard. You'd have to adapt many places where footprints get rendered. I addition, the footprint file format would have to be expanded accordingly. And the format change would have to be accepted by the devs. A less ambitious way to achieve text in footprints would dissolve letters into lines and add them to the footprint like you would with ordinary lines. In silk they stay straight forward lines. In copper they'd become SMD pads with the same name. Pads might optionally be covered with solder mask. The GUI might look up letters as footprints in the library and arrange them to yield human readable text. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
