Um, is this entirely within POV, or did you use an external utility?
("Cadstar"?)
I was referring to the difficulty of building this capability *into the
include file*. I'm aware there are other programs that can do it, but
doing it in POV-Script would be difficult. (though I can probably figure
out a fairly limited method...)

Couldn't you just break a spline down into linear segments?

Huh?
Were you trying to reply to a different message?

No, I was suggesting how you could do the traces, using boxes and splines
broken down into linear segments... or am I totally lost?

You've certainly lost me...making the traces isn't the problem, the
problem is positioning the traces so they don't intersect or contact,
and positioning the components to fit on the board. I can probably make
a different mode for the include file that will do all this, putting the
traces on one side of the board with jumpers to cross over and using
models of actual components, but schematics will likely require manual
adjustment because the positioning of the component model terminals will
be different from the symbol terminals.

Shouldn't that be the job of the user? Just give 'em a macro that makes the
traces and let them worry about them interesecting or not.

Not when the whole point of the feature is that the user doesn't have to
do it...

That's currently all that exists.
