Feature Request: SVG export that matches downsized circuit? #1444

Description

There are two ways to export an SVG:

1.) you can export an SVG (and configure options for it) in the drop down menu.

2.) you can export a template for a custom user format. This has pin info and a label.

But internally Digital also does something very similar to a mix of both to get the "Downsized Circuit" view.

What I would love is some way to export an SVG that matches the Downsized Circuit, with the pins intact in a form recognizable to Digital.

That way I can do things like erase all the text labels and get a small, visually dense downsized circuit without the clutter of 50 different text labels that aren't relevant to the top level circuit.

I can get close today, by exporting a greyscaled view from the Export SVG menu, and exporting a template, resizing the exported greyscale view 2:1, and then manually cutting and pasting the pins over from the template on top of it, then searching and replacing to remove all the text labels.

Alternately, an option in Circuit Specific Settings > Advanced Shape: Downsized Circuit for 'unlabeled' views would save a whole lot of manual inkscape editing.

For a more structured physical design, something like:

or

are rendered a lot less cleanly with all the sublabels in place.
