Hi folks, I've been giving a look to Kicad, and have a few things to say about the features that it has, and PCB/gaf does not. - Kicad has the ability to calculate and clear dead polygons on the PCB layout. PCB does not. - Automatic refdes assignemnt. A few mounth ago I wrote some code to implement it, and I'm using it. Unfortunatelly it's like the refdes-renum script. It's an individual program, but using different renumber methode. http://web.interware.hu/lekovacs/cuccok/grenum.tar.bz2 - It would be nice to have buttons, or menu item in gschem to start producing pcb layout. (running gsch2pcb) This would help, and the user may feel him/herself in an integrated environment. And, the command line tools would remain the same; if someone wold like to do everything manualy, it could be still possible. - Also in PCB, it would be nice have one thing (button, menuitem, etc...) to reload the whole layout, reload the netlist, put the xxxx.pcb.new into the buffer. Unfortunately, I don't have a good enough programming skill, so I can't implement these things. These are just suggestions. Ignore it, if it's just rubbish.
