This is what I was remembering. I've not used it personally, so can't attest to whether it works still... >From http://www.geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:hse_howto: """ Hooks ----- Hooks are a way to define functions that will be called during different part of a programs execution. In gschem there are (currently) three different hooks available: * add-component-hook * copy-component-hook * move-component-hook As their name indicate, they are called at different occasions. When you add a component add-component-hook is called, etc. To add a function to be called you simply use the Guile funtion add-hook!. An example; to run the function auto-uref when you add a component you simply add the following line, preferrably in ${HOME}/.gEDA/gschemrc: (add-hook! add-component-hook auto-uref) """ So you can potentially hook in a script to do what you want on component update. Its probably not possible to teach it what the sheet number is, but how it chooses a new number (whether it fills gaps) should be reasonably easy to code in the guile script. > I get a vision of gschem having an animated paper clip pop up and say: > "I see you are trying to rename a component instance... would you like > me to randomly scramble all your refdes attributes?"..... I'm sure that bug would be easy enough to introduce... I could make you a patch... I'm sure I had code which randomly scrambled _all_ attributes at one point! ;) As to the paper clip, I'll leave that job to a bigger sadist than I. "You seem to have shorted GND and \_ENABLE.
