No. It can happen whenever you have multiple symbols with the same refdes, regardless of the back end. Slotting is a particular case of this, but not the only one. It's a pure gnetlist problem, having nothing to do with pcb. Here are two minimal files that demonstrate the problem. Don't bother opening them in gschem: they contain no graphics. But they each contain a single component, represented by two embedded symbols with the same refdes. The only difference is the order of the two symbols. [Hikyuu:/tmp] jpd% gnetlist -g partslist1 foobar.sch Loading schematic [/private/tmp/foobar.sch] [Hikyuu:/tmp] jpd% cat output.net .START ..refdes device value footprint quantity thing unknown unknown unknown 1 .END [Hikyuu:/tmp] jpd% gnetlist -g partslist1 barfoo.sch Loading schematic [/private/tmp/barfoo.sch] [Hikyuu:/tmp] jpd% cat output.net .START ..refdes device value footprint quantity thing unknown unknown horse 1 .END Note that in the case of "foobar.sch" the footprint is "unknown", while in the case of "barfoo.sch", the footprint is "horse".
