Cite from the master attribute list: /----------------- If the symbol does not have a footprint, then the value of footprint= should be set to none. If the footprint must be overridden in a schematic, then the value of footprint= should be set to none. If the footprint is not known, then the value of footprint= should be set to unknown. \-----------------
So, what is the exact meaning of "footprint=none" ? Power symbols don't have footprints. So the first sentence requires them to have "footprint=none". But the second sentence implies that the value "none" is supposed to be overridden in the schematic. In case of the power symbols this is hardly useful. What are the consequences of "footprint=unknown"? The first sentence seems to imply that all symbols should contain a footprint attribute. However, the majority of symbols in the default library does not contain a footprint attribute at all. IMHO, the master attribute list should tell the consequences of all possible cases: 1) footprint=foobar 2) footprint=none 3) footprint=unknown 4) no footprint attribute at all ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Email: [email protected] Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
