-Since 1.1.2, pcb-rnd core is able to attach user defined attributes
-(arbitrary textual key=value pairs) to any object. The original mainline
-pcb-rnd was forked from already supported attributes on some objects (e.g.
-board attributes, net attributes) but not on all. However, the user had
-very little access to the attributes - no GUI or action would handle them.
-
-Propedit introduces a property editor window in gtk that is able to
-edit attributes and core properties of all selected objects. Core properties
-include all hardwired properties of objects, such as geometry (e.g.
-trace width, hole diameter, clearance) or textual data (e.g. string of
-a text).
-
-
-
-Properties and attributes of the selected objects are collected in a
-sorted list - each row of the list is a property (starting with p/) or
-an attribute (starting with a/). For each row all values seen in the selection
-are also collected so that the following values can be presented on the list,
-per row:
-
-
the most common value
-
minimum value (for numeric value types)
-
maximum value (for numeric value types)
-
average value (for numeric value types)
-
-
-When the user clicks on a row, an edit box is activated and the value can
-be changed. A combo box lists all existing values for the given row, so
-it is easy to unify the value of a property or attribute among all selected
-objects to one of the existing values, but the user is also free to enter
-a new value.
-
-It is also possible to remove existing attributes or to add new attributes.
-
-Values entered are converted to the right format: for distances, values
-may be suffixed with a unit. If the value starts with + or -, it is interpreted
-as a relative value; e.g. a -1mm for clearance means "decrease the current
-clearance value by 1mm". There are a few fields where negative values are
-acceptable, e.g. arc angles; to enforce a negative value (e.g. -90) to
-overwrite the angle instead of decreasing it by 90, the # prefix should be used
-(i.e. #-90).
-
-
save/load and compatibility
-Attributes of most objects can not be saved in the original .pcb format.
-The propedit feature is most useful when used with the lihata board format.
-
-
plans
-Various improvements. Currently there's no plan to make this function available
-in the lesstif HID.
