Not really. It=92s always been pretty good in my flows. I, of course, =
think fixing bugs that lead to crashes is a highly virtuous activity.

The one thing that led to many corrupted schematics in one of my =
projects was a change in the attribute promotion policy, promoting =
attributes that I had intended to control in heavy symbols. That made a =
real mess. I suppose that the developer who made the change thought it =

Except that most layout tools (not just pcb) take flattened netlists as =
