Actually, the functionality I envision IS a gschem issue, albeit a very minor one. I've seen a lot of schematics (I think done in Eagle but I'm not sure) that have something that sorta looks like a lollipop pointing to a trace, with "20mils" or whatever in the circle. Of course I can (and do) attach any arbitrary attribute to anything, and I think this is one of gschem's great strengths, but there needs to be (IMO) a bit of GUI work for this feature as well. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
