There are different approaches among geda users. One is to add the missing attributes with a special spread sheet application called gattrib. This application is part of the geda suite and should be available at your install. Other users like to add their preferred footprint and value attributes to the symbol files. This default attributes can be changed in the schematic on a per component basis. The modified symbols are stored in a local library. This is the "heavy symbols" approach. You may search the wiki for that term. I am one of the users who prefer this way to deal with footprints. So all the symbols you can see in my directory in in http://gedasymbols.de are heavy. I bet, some users roll their own perl/python/guile scripts to add missing attributes in the schematic file. > Is there a way of doing similar thing in gshem? Unfortunately, there is no scripting in present in gschem. It is on the wish list, though. You'd get big cheers from everyone, if you were to implement a scripting scheme ;-) ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
