I'm not sure you understand my question. What I am trying to do is save symbols that were modified in the schematic. For instance, making a schematic and add a generic capacitor. Then add a value, footprint, partnumber and documentation. Now if you would like to save the modified symbol, where do you go from here? Shift-H-s and 'save as' should do this but it brings up the original generic capacitor so if you want to save the modified part you have to make all of your changes again. Is there no way to save a modified symbol? --- On Wed, 6/15/11, Kai-Martin Knaak <k...@lilalaser.de> wrote:

Make sure, it is placed at a path, gschem knows about. This can be modified in gafrc. A common setting is to include the current working directory: /----------excerpt from gafrc-------------- ; Allow to source symbols from the current working directory (define current-working-directory ".") (component-library current-working-directory "symbols in project dir") (source-library current-working-directory) \------------------------------------------- Also make sure, that the symbols name does not clash with existing names. Else, you have to worry about precedence. > This would be straight-forward but when you edit a symbol from a schematic, > it loads the original before it was modified so you have to make all of the > modifications again. You have to load the modified symbol instead. 1) type [i] to get the symbol chooser 2) If you are still in the same session as during the save-as: click on the funny arrow to the right of the filter entry field. This will update the cache of symbols. 3) locate the new symbol 4) insert as usual. If the change affects many symbols, it may be easier to change the symbol name in the *.sch with text editing tools like sed or gedit. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Email: [1]k...@familieknaak.de Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: [2]http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [3]geda-user@moria.seul.org [4]http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user References 1. file://localhost/mc/compose?to=k...@familieknaak.de 2. http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 3. file://localhost/mc/compose?to=geda-user@moria.seul.org 4. http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
