Hello, I created various symbols and saved them in the .sym file format with the name-1.sym convention. They were created having 4 attributes: refdes, footprint, description and device. When I place the components in a brand new design.sch file, for HALF of them, the footprint and refdes dissapear and I must add them manually. I can't figure out why. Did anyone ever have this problem? How do I fix it?
Check to see if attribute-promotion is enabled. It should be in your system-gschemrc file --- ; attribute-promotion string ; ; This keyword controls if attribute promotion occurs when you instanciate a ; component. Attribute promotion basically means that any floating attribute ; (unattached) which is inside a symbol gets "promoted" or attached to the ; newly inserted component. This only occurs when the component is ; instanciated.
