gEDA-dev: Diode symbols in GSchem and PCB

[Bert Timmerman]

Hi all,

IMHO, I would like the developers to do what they do best: develop the
(gEDA) tools.

OTOH, let users worry about content, but give them the tools to do this
smart, efficient, lean, whatever the way it is called.

So extending gattrib to make possible to override default symbol attributes
(like pin numbers) is a minimum.

If this can be done with a script for parts with lots and lots of pins
(several hundreds), even beter.

Back annotation is nice to have for those who need it (I never missed it).

Just my EUR 0.02

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.

Oh, and yes let me toss in another EUR 0.01, the example with the diodes is
not too simple to not check this out during layout.

Most of the time even more simple things go wrong.

I know, I've been there, I've done that.

We also talked about an "attribute helper hook" that could query some
external program to obtain more attributes.  Perhaps pin numbers and
slotting could be part of that plan, assuming we persue it?
