I have attributes in my symbol files that I mark as "visible". This makes them visible when editing the .sym file, but NOT when editing the .sch file. I do not want them "promoted" (which I think will copy the text of them to the contents of my .sch files, when a symbol is inserted in my schematic). I *do* however want them to be visible in my schematic. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made them "visible" in the first place. What I'm confused about is that gschem lets me make attributes visible in my .sym, but that doesn't result in me being able to see them in my schematic. What possible reason is there for marking an attribute visible, if not because I want it to be visible on the schematic? This is too basic a feature to be a bug... Could someone please explain the reason why gschem works this way, and if possible, what I can do to make it work the way I want it to? Bonus points if you explain why the way I want it to work isn't the default, and what's wrong with it. Thanks, Miles
