James Yes, it is entirely separate. Geographic re-annotation require back annotation of the schematic. This required functionality added by Alexannder Shuklin. Annotation of the schematic does not require re-annotation of the PCB, however, my menu does offer the option to update the PCB

Hi Nick - Yep I've been chatting with Brian about having a look at his schematic annotation code. Either me or him (depends who gets to it first!) are going to merge his development branch with the upstream/master to check it still works, and then take it from there, either collaborating to get it

Nick Thanks for remembering me! I am still hoping for some feedback on my geographic reannotation feature. I did do some work on schematic reannotation but I think it makes sense to put this one to bed as soon as possible. Although geographic reannotation seems finished, I did hit some

Hi James, By "breaking" changes, I'm assuming you mean changes yet to come and not broken changes which is something all together different. I don't foresee any changes that would significantly impact the annotation code if any at all so you are probably safe to work on it. I highly recommend

Hi all, I'm starting to dig through the code to understand how to implement a new annotation scheme (all looks deceptively simple in terms of object manipulation... there will be a crocodile hiding there somewhere I'm sure!). However, I've noted in a few bug reports and new feature requests that
