Make a local copy of the resistor-1 component. Give it a new name. > What footprint would I give > it ? Look in the gEDA symbol creation guide. > How do I identify which resistor of the component ? (Use the slot > attribute ?) Yes. You'll need to add numslots and slotdef attributes to your new symbol. See the symbol creation guide.
