Again. Is it the default or real?

That will make gnetlist to crash! :-) Believe me I tried! I spent nights manually seeking for this. Don't do it. What I do is I keep my symbols light. Sometimes it doesn't even have pin-numbers! After I made my design, I update all my symbols, and attributes with an updater script, which pulls everything from a MySQL database.
