Is there an advantage to separating out the attributes of a symbol, but still having them symbol-specific? I suppose if we had symbol *classes* we'd want to pull the attributes out of the graphical representation of the symbol (like resistor-1.sym) and put them in the symbol class (resistor.scl). But what I was thinking was, for example, having NAND2.sym be a generic 2-in NAND gate, SO14.fp be a generic soic-14, and the metadata would be SN74LVC00ANSR.part. The metadata would have symbol=NAND2, footprint=SO14, pinmap=[(A,B),Y]=([(1,2),3],...), etc. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
