2008-09-09 Thread Stephan Boettcher
Moin, I was looking for a way to save the buffer contents into a layout file, to make copies with changed refdes and then pasted those into the original design. Save buffer elements to file actually saves all Elements, Vias and Planes from the Buffer, but the resulting file cannot be read via

Thanks a lot, this may all be very helpful. I did a hierachical schematic, and an sed one-liner was enough to map the netlist to the copies of a replicated part of the layout. The point was, that I made that part embedded in the bigger layout, then copied it into the buffer and tried to save
