No need. The device attribute is not used by anything in the gschem to pcb work flow. > then I added ”numslots=” to match. This is not useful. The slotting mechanism is only for copies of the same symbol in a physical component. But the pwr symbol is a _different_ symbol. Don't use slotting inside the pwr symbol. You can set numslots=0 if you like. But this is not required. There's no need to add any attributes to (my) 74_pwr.sym. Just put it on the schematic like it is. > What am I missing?

You have to do this manually. The autonumber script has no idea which symbols belong to a group. Also make sure to not add the pwr symbol first. The reason is that this symbol does not include a footprint attribute. gsch2pcb only accepts footprint attributes from the first symbol in a set. If this symbol fails to provide a footprint, gsch2pcb gives up and issues an error. This is a long standing bug that was fixed just a few days ago. > It was all so easy before, when I had the ”net=” thing in the component > symbols, but someone said that that's not the way to go, for some reason. "Some reason" is schematic style seen from an advanced level of experience. Take it as good advice from the old boys. You may ignore it but don't complain if it this bites you later. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Email: k...@familieknaak.de Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
