Hi soerm, velner: Great work with this tool! Just a heads up: Our Email threat scanner detected a malware in the downloaded package: W32/Agent.XH.gen!Eldorado I scanned the content with two other tools and they didn't find anything. Probably is a false positive, but just in case, I let you know. Regards, Sergio

That is simply brilliant work you have done. It prove that the multi $ companies in this IC CAD are well at sleep. And that there are lots of work to do in this area. I look forward to see a community to back it up. Feature list: net trace, extraction, 3d connextion control.
