Re: gEDA-user: Renumber in PCB/Was/Is List

["Mike Hansen" <mehansen10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well at least with this proposed mod(the renumber) one would definitely want 
to update the netlist.  The normal procedure would be to do the renumber, 
spit out the was/is list, using the was/is list update your schematic(of 
course it would be desirable to have a utility to update the schematic also 
with the was/is list).

This is pretty standard functionality in commercial packages.  The board 
stuffers like to have the components in a logical arrangement(R10 is near 
R9, etc.).
