Re: gEDA-user: device attribute

Many of the symbols contain an entry in the form of "device=xxx".

not appear to in the ".sch" file when the symbol gets added to the

assign a device attribute which appear to have the same syntax.
Am I missing the process of importing attributes from the symbol files?
What is the purpose of
assigning attributes in the ".sym" file if they are not used?
The "device" attribute is read by gnetlist to know what to do with
each symbol. The Scheme back ends use this attribute when deciding
how to process the symbol and write the corresponding netlist. In
this sense, "device" is not an attribute for the user, it is for the
CAD package. Therefore, it doesn't show up in your netlist or in your
(settable) attributes.
