I don't think so. I think if I add visible attributes to a symbol, they
are visible (and edible) in the schematic.
I think I read that visible attributes are always promoted?
Maybe you should give an example, and tell use your gschem version.
What is the benefit of sending the the text of themessage twice?

I have attributes in my symbol files that I mark as "visible". This
makes
them visible when editing the .sym file, but NOT when editing the .sch
file. I do not want them "promoted" (which I think will copy the text
of
them to the contents of my .sch files, when a symbol is inserted in my
schematic). I *do* however want them to be visible in my schematic.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have made them "visible" in the first place.
What I'm confused about is that gschem lets me make attributes visible
in my
.sym, but that doesn't result in me being able to see them in my
schematic.
What possible reason is there for marking an attribute visible, if not
because I want it to be visible on the schematic? This is too basic a
feature to be a bug... Could someone please explain the reason why
gschem
works this way, and if possible, what I can do to make it work the way I
want it to? Bonus points if you explain why the way I want it to work
isn't
the default, and what's wrong with it.
Thanks,
Miles
