gEDA-user: trace routing "style" in PCB

[Bert Douglas <bertd@bellsouth.net>]

Hello all,

Is there any way to encode information about trace routing styles as an 
attribute in gschem, so that this is passed on to PCB in the netlist?

If not, then I can adopt a convention and encode this information in the 
netname.  Then a small script can add the "style" notation so that PCB 
can use it.  This leads to another question.

Is there any way to split a net in gschem, so that instead of one big 
net, there are two smaller nets?  For example, assume there is a net 
like this:
      netname1  part1-pin1 part2-pin2 part3-pin3
then I would like to get this instead:
      netname1a  part1-pin1 part2-pin2
      netname1b  part2-pin2 part3-pin3

I am doing this from memory and am too lazy right now to check the 
syntax for netlists. So I probably got some details wrong. I hope this 
is good enough to communicate the general idea.


Thanks,
Bert Douglas
