gEDA-user: Diode pin numbers reversed?

2010-06-14 Thread Matthew Lai
Am I having a brain fart or does the stock diode-1 symbol have opposite 
pin numbers as the ALF300 footprint?


What would be the best way to go about fixing that?

Thanks

As I recall there are two different diode symbols with opposite pin
numbering (diode-1, diode-2).  The nice thing about standards is that
there are so many to choose from.

the best way would be to have a standard, which end of a diode is pin 1
and no, everything ok with your brain, even the 3 std-diode symbols
don't agree on that.

EDA vendors never get it right, so how could gEDA?

Really I edit my footprints and diode symbols to use A and K,
netlisters complain, of course, at least for single diodes,
since it wants the pin number to end with a digit (why?, it
is also painful for transistors).

However since now I use more often dual (or more) packages,
I don't have this problem: the netlister is happy with A1,
K1, A2 and K2 (as if it were a BGA!)

Now the right solution to avoid having a proliferation 
of symnbols might be to have a way to specify attributes 
that map from pin name to pin numbers on every instance.

It does not matter too much what it is -- the point is that it has more
than 1000 elements. It is a 4 layer board, 25 * 32 cm in size, and I can
tell you all that gEDA/PCB worked fine for it.

There _are_ attributes available that map from pinseq to pin number.

 Do we use alt for anything else?  Would alt-click interfere with window

 Metacity / compiz have that as a short-cut for dragging windows around.

With metacity this is configurable:
MainMenu - System - Windows - MovementKey 
This setting can be either Alt, or Super (Windows logo) 

I don't know about compiz but expect it to be configurable , too.

If the proposed modified drag is caught with some settings of some window 
managers then the affected users are in the same situation like now. 
Everybody else would gain a shortcut to a frequently needed action.
