gEDA-user: replicating pcb layout cells

[John Griessen <john_g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I just found out a different way to use the perl script pcb-matrix by:

John Luciani
> www.luciani.org

He wrote it with such good documentation and meaningful variable names I
could modify it in 5 minutes of reading to do a different process!

Normally, his script makes a copy of a layout cell, and increments all the 
refdes numbers of succeeding ones.  I have some layout and a netlist with 
hierarchy, so I didn't want my sub circuit refdes's to increment, but to have a 
prefix instead.   So far, I've made a little hack to turn off the incrementing 
and it didn't create any problems -- I'll be able to text edit and change the 
refdes's to have S1/, S2/ etc, and i may even take a hack at creating those 
prefixes with the script...  The script works fine with the latest element file 
format even though he made it before it existed.

Thanks John L,

John G

pcb-matrix  modified (pseudo diff):
--------------------
#    return sprintf("\"%s%i\"", $prefix, $ordinal + $last * $row + $last * 
($Cfg{last_row}+1) * $col);
    return sprintf("\"%s%i\"", $prefix, $ordinal );  #jg's no count version..
-----------------------
