I could implement a save-symbol-as capability. Can anyone familiar with gschem code outline a 'right' way to this? Should I add another option to Hierarchy "down modified symbol" and change the other to "down original symbol"? Or would it be better to add a 'save symbol as' function to the right-click menu that operates on selected objects? Should I try not to change libgeda?

This may not work in some instances, e.g. you may need to choose 'embed symbols' to get the full symbol definition in the sch file. -Ethan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [1]geda-user@moria.seul.org [2]http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user References 1. file://localhost/mc/compose?to=geda-user@moria.seul.org 2. http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
