The best way to know is to inspect the SPICE netlist. There is no guarantee that the parts in the gEDA symbol library have the pins set up in the correct orientation. Please remember that the "pinseq" attribute is used in spice-sdb to know in which order to emit pins. If your symbol's pins are

Hi all. I was (trying to) simulate a switching power supply, and used the 'schottky' diode symbols, copied it, and added a model (1N5822 from Motorola). After some experiments with strange results, could it be that the diode pins are reversed? It did conduct the wrong way... The normal 'diode' ha
