Are there packages that will 'back annotate' without a netlist?
I thought they all go from schematic -> netlist -> PC layout.
Automatic netlist creation by tracing a PCB would be very
useful, even if it couldn't re synthesize a schematic.
I don't know, I don't actually use back-annotation, apart from maybe
the occasional pin or gate swap. But isn't what I described pretty
much what back annotation proclaims to do? If not, al the more reason
to off a few marketing pinheads here and there.
