It do the bulk of the work fast and simple.

To import information from an ibis file with a standardized format should be really simple if implemented properly. Pdf file is a little bit more involved and pdf-files are not standardized. Split tool in two with intermediate csv format which may be piped between the two might be the best solution, input could come either from a pdf-file, imported from an ibis file, bsdl? or other. Basically this would be a database table in *.csv which is a very common format for input of pins and attributes.

For editing of pin attributes a table like in gattrib would be really useful.

I will try to look a little bit further on it a few hours from now.
