Re: gEDA-user: I do not understand: What is the meaning of the attribute "pinseq"

[sdb@xxxxxxxxxx (Stuart Brorson)]

I believe that pinseq is ignored by the netlister for PCB.  I use the
pinseq attribute for spice-sdb, it tells the netlister which order to
emit pins in fur use with .subckts.  This is different from pinnumber,
which is the physical number of the pin in the package. 

If you don't use spice-sdb, you don't need to set the pinseq attribute.
