One part you will be missing is routing of the true wires. So if your expecting it to make a list of the wires lengths for you you would need to integrate it into a 3D mechanical cad package too. Steve ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.s

Green means "found" (aka the 'f' key) Many pcb internal functions use "find" as a way to gather stuff, especially, select does - if you want a selected net *and* a found net, do the selection first. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org
