Hi Nicklas,

Thanks for testing!

Yup, it works for the basic drawing primitives: line, arc, polygon, text, 
via.

It doesn't work for:

- elements: since I am going to remove elements in favor of subcircuits 
so it doesn't make much sense to implement it

- pins, pads: because they are element-specific hacks; we'll have a more 
generic terminal concept so you will be able

- other subcircuits: most of the code already has provisions for 
subcircuit-in-subcircuit, so it will be easy to add, but it's not planned 
in the first deelopment cucle

Thanks, known bug (or rather missing feature), will be implemented in a 
few days.

Regards,
