I've got yet another project consisting of about a zillion little leds
all in a huge array and am rather tired of laying out this stuff by
hand. I'm planning to write some python scripts and what not for gEDA to
automate this.

So, in industry, how do you guys handle these sort of problems? I'm
assuming these $50,000/seat pcb layout/schematic capture packages I keep
hearing about can do more than automate routing for you.


I'd like to do my best to write a fairly generic set of software for
this stuff, as in the future I've got a project planned that would
essentially involve making arbitrary-defined "model railroads" The
software would take a file defining the paths in the railroad, then
generate a schematic with the appropriate amount of electromagntes and
drivers and automatically lay them out on the pcb in the correct places.

Well, that's the plan anyway. :)
