I decided what I really want (and will probably whip up a quick perl script to implement) is to have the schematic list _package_, not footprint. That way I can happily show "0805" or "SOIC-8" as a _visible_ attribute in the schematic. Then the mapping script (and _its_ database) will turn that into RESC2012N or SO8M or whatever keeps me and PCB happy. - Larry _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
