<whitequark> define "design PCBs"
<whitequark> are you talking about PCB envelope (contour) or the entire EDA workflow?

<slide> Well, ideally, I'd be able to use the same program to do the schematic capture and have it linked to the pcb layout but I would at least like to have just a way to layout footprints via dimensions.
<slide> So if I could potentially create footprint files, perhaps using colors as the layers. Can I load those into another file as a group?
<whitequark> not usefully
<whitequark> well, you could technically do that, but the workflow will be highly inconvenient
<whitequark> solvespace isn't suited for PCBs at all.
<slide> Happen to know of any pcb design software that uses dimensions to drive placements by chance? lol
<slide> Are you a dev by chance? Any idea if its possibly to add on some features? I am a programmer
<slide> well, if the architecture of SolveSpace could allow for these features.
