-Description: Printed circuit board layout tool
- pcb-rnd is a tool designed to layout printed circuit boards. This tool was
- originally based on gEDA pcb, so it supports all the basic features you would
- expect, plus much improved functionality such as:
+Description: Modular Printed Circuit Board layout tool
+ pcb-rnd is a highly modular PCB (Printed Circuit Board) layout tool
+ with a rich set of plugins for communicating with various external
+ design tools and other EDA/CAD packages.
  .
-   - support for additional input/output formats, such as kicad
-   - a parametric footprint generation system
-   - support for asymmetric pins
-   - a mini-language for querying and selecting objects
+ Feature highlights:
+   - subcircuits, pad stacks
+   - flexible footprint model; unrestricted pad shapes
+   - arbitrary copper, silk, paste and soldermask objects
+   - sophisticated, flexible layer model
+   - flexible/universal polygon model
+   - any object, even polygons, can have a clearance within a polygon
+   - advanced mil and mm grid, with support for mixed unit design
+   - strong CLI support
+   - static footprints and parametric (generated) footprints
+   - query language for advanced search & select
    - layout optimizers such as teardrops and a trace puller
+   - footprint library from local file systems, HTTP and board files
+   - netlist management: imported and as-built; back annotation
+   - design rule checker
+ .
