Re: gEDA-user: pcb refdes name restrictions?

CONNpower and the like are easier to deal with than J1, J2, etc, but
if you've got a board with thousands of components on it, then you
can't give each a unique alpha refdes, and the above renumbering
scheme is extremely convenient.

Since we can't do backanno in gschem/PCB, this point is moot, however.

We're pretty close to being able to do that. You can renumber automatically in PCB and it produces a file that with probably only a few minutes of perl hacking could be used to back annotate to gschem.

Actually, I'll see if I have any energy left after halloween activities tonight to code up something. Since there is already a perl program for backannotating from pads all that has to change is the parser and that should be easy.
