I'm using gschem in a hierarchichal/digital CMOS enviroment in the same vein as Bill Cox.
There are attributes I have given to cmos transistors and other symbols that I for the most part do not wish to be visible/seen due to clutter but I do wish to have promoted since I have the need to modify them on occasion. Hspice specific parameters are an example (like the 'm' number) There are work arounds obviously but selective promoting would be helpful. Your suggestion about using the rc file to force promotion on the specified attributes would work fine. /sri -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ales Hvezda Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 5:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: gEDA-user: promotion of attributes >Is there a way to promote selective attributes in a symbol?

My question is , is there a way of adding something to the >symbol so that I can just promote a selective few invisible ones? No mechanism exists for this currently, though there was some interest a while ago about being able to selectively promote attributes (namely the source= attribute for example). Looks like I will have to start thinking about this. Chances are I will create a list somewhere (in an rc file) which lists all attributes which are promoted regardless of their visibility. Out of curiosity, in what context do you want to promote invisible attributes (i.e. why do you want to do this)? -Ales
