Good point ;) It could also be used to design plug-board layouts if your reference board was a model of the vero-board / plug board you were using. Not strictly a "PCB" any more, but I'm excited about the possibility of documenting one-off or prototype designs like this. This (and the blue-wire layers) would probably be similar to the kind of primitives we might require to add support for designing in arbitrary length wire-jumpers at PCB design time, rather than requiring schematic components with footprints for them. This would be very handy for people designing single layer (and some two-layer) boards. -- 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!)
