Good grief that took awhile! I'm now completely sold on the concept of Computer-Aided Design (I've used some awkward implementations before but this was done with pencil, pen, measuring tape, and book spine for straight edge).
... what... you don't just draw them by hand? :)
rright. there's no way i'm doing this layout by hand. i'm going to do something that i meant to do a long time ago: investigate how to use the DCOM interface to PADS. that *shudder* means installing python2.7 under windows.
basically it should be perfectly possible to use the COM interface to hunt down the tracks by name, and in an *automated* fashion add in track segments according to the layout you designed, richard.
what that also means is, if i get it wrong, it's a simple matter of adjusting the python program to redo it.
ohh dearie me :)
