gEDA-bug: [Bug 698670] Re: gEDA Schematic to Symbol Generator

[andyj144 <698670@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a reason for doing this as a script rather than integrating the
functionality directly into gschem?  I'd like to see a menu item called
"symbolize", or something similar, that pops up an options dialog, and
then creates a symbol from the current sheet based on the selected
options and opens  the new *.sym file.  Whether or not the ports list is
saved could be an option in the dialog box.  If there is support for
that I would be interested in working on it.

Title:
  gEDA Schematic to Symbol Generator

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  New

Bug description:
  The primary function of this program (geda_sch2sym.bsh) is to generate
  a symbol from a given schematic. In order to do this, it performs two
  main steps:

  1. uses data from a schematic file (*.sch) to create an I/O ports list
  (*_IO_ports.ini)

  2. uses data from an I/O ports list (*_IO_ports.ini) to create a
  symbol file (*.sym)

  Users may choose to perform a single step individually (option 1 or
  option 2) or perform both steps simultaneously (option 3).

  Option 1: sch-->ini
  Option 2: ini-->sym

  Option 3: sch-->sym

  The user is able to configure the symbol default settings in an
  initialization file (*.ini). Options 1 and 3 require an initialization
  file (geda_sch2sym.ini) to be located the directory folder containing
  the schematic file.

  Option 1: Create an I/O ports list ini file from a schematic file
  (outputs anyname_IO_ports.ini)

  ÂÂÂ[program path]geda_sch2sym.bsh -p [input path]anyname.sch

  Option 2: Create a symbol file from an I/O ports list ini file
  (outputs anyname.sym)

  ÂÂÂ[program path]geda_sch2sym.bsh -t [input path]anyname_IO_ports.ini

  Option 3: Create a symbol file from a schematic file
  (outputs anyname_IO_ports.ini and anyname.sym)

  ÂÂÂ[program path]geda_sch2sym.bsh -s [input path]anyname.sch
