Was this really “back” annotation? I think of it as a design merge forward into a new branch, although the mechanics perhaps worked backward. Regardless, I think simply “annotation” is what we really want. I think we could all agree that the term forward annotation is what we have not from schematic to layout their for any mechanism that passes in the reverse would be back annotation. Now there is the difference between notation and annotation. I don't really like what PCB does with the forward annotation. Igor2's implimentation doesn't actually change nets or symbols for you, that would be suicidally complicated and fragile. I would much rather work with you on the other project adding to gnetlist or what ever than debate this. As you pointed out it is a more sought after than actually needed feature for most of our work so why are you kicking the hornets nest? As it is this code is all sitting in another of his forks. Can't we postpone the inevitable fight over merging it for after he officially releases it? >> John Doty Noqsi Aerospace, Ltd. >> http://www.noqsi.com/ >> jpd AT noqsi DOT com >> >> >> >> > > John Doty Noqsi Aerospace, Ltd. > http://www.noqsi.com/ > jpd AT noqsi DOT com > > > -- Home http://evanfoss.googlepages.com/ Work http://forge.abcd.harvard.edu/gf/project/epl_engineering/wiki/
