They carry the symbol along with the component though, right? So if the system doesn't know about a component in advance, it won't offer you a symbol. That's not what I want. I want the concepts of symbols and components to be completely separate, tied together only by meta-information that says "this circuit can be represented by this symbol", and "this component contains these circuits". b.g. -- Bill Gatliff [email protected] _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
