pads_backannotate(1)		 1.8.2.20130925 	    pads_backannotate(1)

NAME
     pads_backannotate	-  backannotates  changes from a PADS engineering change
     order (ECO) file to schematic

SYNOPSIS
     pads_backannotate -h|--help

     pads_backannotate -V|--version

     pads_backannotate [options] ecofile.eco infile1.sch [infile2.sch ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The pads_backannotate program reads an engineering change order (ECO)  file
     generated	by the PADS program and backannotates the requested changes to a
     gschem schematic or schematics.  Refer to the PADS manual	for  a	complete
     description of the ECO file format.

OPTIONS
     -h, --help
	    prints help message and exits

     -n, --nocopy
	    Leave the modified schematic files in new files whose names are gen-
	    erated by appending .new to the original file names.  The default is
	    to overwrite the original.

     -v, --verbose
	    operate verbosely

     -V, --version
	    prints version information and exits

EXIT STATUS
     pads_backannotate	will  return 0 if all files processed successfully, non-
     zero if the command did not complete successfully.

BUGS
     Rather than parsing and processing schematic files directly,  this  utility
     should  be  rewritten using the gEDA scheme API.  This would take advantage
     of the existing parsers for the schematic files.

     Reference designator renaming is fully supported.	Pin and gate swapping is
     parsed but not automatically applied to the schematic database.  Instead, a
     report listing the manual pin and gate  swapping  that  is  required.   The
     other features of the ECO file are not supported yet.
