pcb does a decent job with the set of prints produced by ps output.
However, this is no flexibility in this approach. I wish, there was an
interface to define a set of prints according to the local preferences.
E.g., if I populate the board myself, I like to print assembly prints
with refdes an
The units setting mangles two distinct tasks -- How to display and how to
act. It makes sense to discriminate these. E.g. it is useful to work on
an imperial grid but show sizes in metric units.
Suggestion: Add a preference parameter "display-units". Toggle between
"mm/mil" and "mil/mm" with a

We discussed this at one of the August code sprints, and decided that

In pcb, the lesstif hid defines the mouse actions in pcb-menu.res. See:
Mouse =
{
. . .
Up = Zoom(0.8)
Down = Zoom(1.25)
}
You can tie the Cursor(Warp,...) action to those instead of you

In OmniGraffle, the box normally selects what it touches.
alt/option makes it select only what it encloses.
Either command or shift means add to or subtract from selection:

Shift almost universally means "add to selection" in box-select models.

Sure, it is much more fun to watch them vanish on a completed board as
you run to much current through them.

My lastest "incident" was an SC-75 op-amp. Picked it up out of the
