> How do you think this mapping tool should get the data from the schematic - > via a special scheme netlist script or by reading the schematic file itself? Nothing should read the schematic itself. I thought of two ways: 1. The various tools that deal with attributes also know about "implied" attributes, which are the result of database and ruleset queries. Thus, in gschem's attribute window you'd have access to the database as well as user-specified attributes. This lets the user override the rules while still having the convenience of a database. 2. The netlister would need to feed its data into some sort of engine that combines the specific attributes with implied ones, adds in other external data and/or back-annotation data, and produce whatever the backend needs.
