I've been noticing this whole heavy vs. light debate for a while, but not really following it. A heavy symbol is something that is fully specified, including footprint, right? Does that go all the way to particular manufacturer part numbers? A light symbol would be what the majority of the included library is right now -- generic symbols with no footprint specified, using generic pin assignments (which sometimes do not agree with reality for certain parts), right? Personally, when I need a "heavy" symbol, djboxsym does the job in a jiffy. (Thanks, DJ!) I use resistor, capacitor, diode, etc. symbols from the included library, and pretty much everything else comes from djboxsym. -- Randall _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
