You can draw new connections between components and have them add to the rats nest. There are a few limitations to the mode, and I don't expect many people use it though. This said, when I first started using PCB, I designed some moderately complex boards with it (including ones with micro-controllers and discretely constructed switched mode regulators). I came to gschem and gnetlist later only after I had grown to love PCB's ease of use when drawing boards. My netlists were hand-extracted from a breadboard prototype and pencil + paper drawings! This was back in the day where gschem would crash no sooner look at it - often (and very ironically as it turned out), caused by the page auto-save code! -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
