The new flow improves on this - the intermediary tool sends pcb all the "should be" data, and pcb internally compares with "is" and makes the needed changes. That includes elements, attributes, footprints, and netlists. ___ geda-user mailing list geda

There is certainly a LVS flow already. gsch2pcb is a program which is among other things is a wrapper around gnetlist which is the gEDA netlister. gnetlist will create a netlist from the schematic. PCB loads the netlist and does a comparison between that netlist and the layout. There is no wa

I know there is some kind of sch2pcb script (I haven't tried it myself so I don't know good it works), but I think there does need to be some kind of lvs flow in gEDA. I planned on working on some type of lvs flow between pcb and gschem but I haven't got around to it. On Tue, May 12, 2009 at 5:08
