Hi Everybody,

If your looking at tuning up or otherwise redesigning the file format for
PCB
I would really like gschem to understand the PCB file format and visa-versa.
What I would like to be able to do is have a PCB layout up at the same time
I
have the schematic for that design up in gschem. If I select any part or
portion
of the layout in PCB that part or portion is visually highlighted in gschem
and
visa-versa.

This ability could possibly be used as the starting point for introducing
boundary scan and other sophisticated usages of interconnects into gEDA. I
am
thinking verification, design for test, diagnostics and such. In my world,
completing
a design does not retire a project and it would be nice if gEDA reflected
this dynamic.

Regards

Marvin
