Hi Tim, took a while for me to be able to test the feature as I had to get a different gcc compiler installed. The one I had refused to understand vargs. I'm pleased to see that I now can select a bunch of lines and move the bends all together without moving the end-points. Very nice when the routing space between components is limited and bends need to be rearranged or moved to make space for another connection. I do not know if this is an intended way of work, but it is fantastic: I select several edges on different timing lines by repeatedly using the selection box around the specified edges. When I press 'e' I will move only those edges while keeping the rest of the timing wave intact. Only thing to note is that when selecting an edge, the whole waveform change color. But this is such a minor thing it is maybe not worth bother. Is it possible to extract coordinates of lines with tcl? I now play with the possibility to extract the timing diagrams made in xcircuit to a file and use as stimuli for testbenches. Would save major time writing pwl for spice in xcircuit. The final timing diagram as svg can easily be imported into Visio and included in Word. Oh brave new world: A self-documenting testbench!!!
