I guess a third of the work would be to write a "sym2picture" and "fp2picture" to convert the symbol and footprints to a graphical representation possible to show on screen.

I really liked the geometry/dimensioning that came with Igor2's footprint generator. I would be happy if there was a way to change pinnumbers in PCB instead of via a text editor. I almost never draft in the right order and have to go back and renumber later. > Nicklas Karlsson -- Home http://evanfoss.googlepages.com/ Work http://forge.abcd.harvard.edu/gf/project/epl_engineering/wiki/
