Let's use the full name, then. So here are the adjustments: 2. Symbol Library Names (.lib files) ------------------------------------
2.1. Manufacturer. 2.2. Category or family of parts. ex: "Capacitors", "Spartan6", etc. 4. Symbol Names --------------- 4.1. Name of symbol, may be shortened for common components or use reference designator of the symbol (IEEE 315-1975). ex: "Conn_4x2", "C"etc. 4.2. Manufacturer. 4.3. Part number, including extension for specific footprint. (JEDEC for common devices, ex: 1N4001) 4.4. Any modification to the original footprint, indicated by appending the reason. Ex: different pin ordering: "transistor_PNP_pinswap1" 4.5. Indication of quantity if symbol is an array. ex: resistor array: "Resistor_x8" Any other comments?
