Then add a value, footprint, partnumber and documentation. This does not change the symbol but adds attributes to the instance in the schematic. If I want to change a generic symbol I'd: 1) copy and rename the symbol to some other place with some external tool like the bash shell, or a file browser. 2) open the symbol with gschem 3) do my changes 4) save and quit. Alternatively: 1) copy and rename the generic symbol to some other place. 2) open the schematic and add the copied symbol 3) do down-symbol from the hierarchy menu ([shift-h s]) This opens the symbol from the lib in symbol edit mode (not the instance in the schematic). 4) do my changes 5) save 6) do "Up" from the hierarchy menu 7) do "Update-Symbol" from the edit menu [ep] This last step is not really necessary. The symbol will be reread every time the schematic is opened, anyway. If you really need to copy attributes from an instance to a symbol in a library, you can do so by: 1) open schematic with symbol augmented by attributes 2) select the attributes to be copied 3) copy the attributes [ctrl-c] 4) open the symbol in the lib with open from the file menu [fo] 5) paste the attributes [ctrl-v] and move them to proper places 6) make the attributes visible. This will make them "promoted" on instantiation. 7) save [fs] Seems a bit awkward. But it is not that bad. Changing symbols directly in your personal lib is the recommended way. ---<)kaiamrtin(>--- -- 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
Re: gEDA-user: gschem saving symbols
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 wrote: From: Kai-Martin Knaak Subject: Re: gEDA-user: gschem saving symbols To: geda-u...@seul.org Date: Wednesday, June 15, 2011, 4:59 PM Josh Jordan wrote: > Is it possible to load a symbol into a schematic, change it up, and > save it as another symbol? yes. 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 ".")

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 ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

gEDA-user: gschem saving symbols
Is it possible to load a symbol into a schematic, change it up, and save it as another symbol? 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. Thanks! ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
gEDA-user: Please test updates to auto-uref.scm
Hello, Taking advice from Peter B I have implemented some changes to the auto-uref script. It does not cache refdeses anymore, and allows refdes reuse after deleting components from the schematic. Another change allows to specify refdes numbering offset that is applied automatically - for example: Page contains R10, R121 and R33, offset set to 100. Resistors will be numbered: R1, R2, R3... Page contains R123, R223, R102, offset set to 100. Resistors will be numbered: R101, R102, R103... Script requires recent modifications to libgeda, so test with git HEAD.
