Huh? Not the way it works for me (currently using gEDA/gschem version 1.4.3.20081231). Unpromoted visible attributes from the sym are visible in the schematic, you just can't edit them. Are you sure you've marked them visible? > 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). Put the line: (always-promote-attributes "") in your gafrc file. That prevents automatic promotion of nearly everything (refdes is an exception). This is a good thing, as you understand, for those of us who use symbol libraries to hold project design data. The alternative is massive hand editing in gattrib whenever you change a part that's used all over the design.
