If anybody's interested there's a lot of info on previous attempts to produce standards based EDA formats here;
http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlAndEDA.html this is probably old hat to many of you! My assessment is; 1. They tried to cover way too much in one go with edaXML, PCB's, MCM, fat symbols, basically trying to encapsulate all possible EDA data in one description and thus produced a complex format that was difficult to implement and poorly adopted. 2. Saying something is standards based as it's XML is a bit of a joke, as far as I know no open tools to read the format were ever produced. 3. I think it was a good idea that was before it's time, most EE's still were not that internet savvy back in 2000. Anyway it's looking dead easy to have gschem symbols <-> SVG . Should have something on Github shortly. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
