Me too. (see my combined symbol and footprint lib in gedasymbols.org) I'd be happy to see an obvious extension of this concept: An attribute that lists a number of preselected footprints for this symbol. E.g. the list for a resistor could be "0805, 0402, RES_RM10, VISHAY_S101. The attribute editor would convert this list into a chooser widget. I found the corresponding feature in protel very handy. Only thing I would gripe about was that the maximum number of preselected footprints in protel was four. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
