Add first draft of netlist-symmetry #7

Open iromero91 opened 8 years ago

iromero91 commented 8 years ago

Make the netlist the master document during a session. Allow any View (program) in the suite alter the netlist and propagate changes to the others including the schematic.

As mentioned on IRC I am very much in favor of this.

How to deal with multi-page schematics, and rats nests spanning multiple pages?

For hierarchical designs, I think that ratsnest lines could simply be drawn to the sheet symbol. For a flat design - and also for ratsnest lines going upward to a parent? - ratsnests could maybe be drawn to the relevant sheet in a sheet selector? I like the idea of having a list of sheets with thumbnails on the side the way multipage document viewers do.

Perhaps a good way would be to make nets that shoot outwards just go to a "bubble" that has the relevant net name (if any) and the page number where the other end can be found. Thumbnail idea is good too.
