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

["Mike Hansen" <mehansen10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do find this useful(of course it was me that started the thread).   My 
schematic workflow may not be the best. I just plunk down refdes's that are 
unique and then when I get to the PCB I would like to simply renumber and 
then do a was/is on the schematic once I am done.

In this day of automation the part numbering on the PCB may not be as big a 
deal as it once was...back in the day the board stuffers had people sitting 
on row after row of benches stuffing parts into the PCB and sending them off 
to wave soldering.  It was a good idea to keep part numbers in a logical 
order so that they weren't searching for the next part to stuff on the 
board.

But even when I do protos I find myself lost on the board if there isn't a 
logical order.

I will see if I can squeeze in some time to look at the example code to 
perform this task.
