Re: gEDA-user: General Layers questions

[Martin Kupec <martin.kupec@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

another set of questions needed to be answered before I can start
any real work. Or better a set of thought how to do it.

Current state:
One physicaly connected surface is called "layer group".
What is called "layer" is something that one can work on
and will end up in some surface "layer group".
There are special "Layers" called silk, ratlines, mask, outline,..

Proposed state:
I think it is common to call "layer" one electricaly
connected sufrace. Cannot we come up with some other
name for "layer", so we can leave "layer" for one electricaly
connected surface?

A problem with user configurable layers:
If there are more (ie. silk) layers, where to put the silk
layer of an footprint? Should we somehow link cooper
layer and silk layer? What if we link more than one silk
layer to cooper layer?

Or do we want to have some "default" silk and cooper layer and move
all footprints from that one to desired one?

One of the problems someone wants to solve is to be able to put
"outline" of an footprint to one silk layer and "refdef" to another.
