My approach would be to use a NAND symbol, a power symbol, and slotting. I'm curious as to why you found slotting problematic? It's no more or less obtuse than the rest of gschem. -dave Bill Gatliff wrote: > Guys: > > > I can get TI's LittleLogic NAND gates in single (SN74LVC1G00) and dual >

2009-11-17 Thread DJ Delorie
What you want is a four-slot-slotted gate symbol, and a separate power symbol. The slots permute across {gate 1, gate2} x {A-B inputs, B-A inputs}. I.e. you can use the slotting to switch gates *or* swap the pins. It's worth the effort to get this working smoothly. ___

Guys: I can get TI's LittleLogic NAND gates in single (SN74LVC1G00) and dual (SN74LVC2G00) varieties. At the schematic level, however, I'd prefer to just have a NAND symbol and a separate symbol for the power pins. One way to solve this problem is to have a symbol named sn74lvc1g00.sym for the
