Re: gEDA-user: How to create my own parts?



OK. Looking into that, I have one question so far. Where can I find doc on gattrib? It's not in the main HTML page for gEDA, either in my local install nor when I select Help->Manual from gschem.

Thanks!

Good morning. Is there an example of creating a ngspice'able symbol somewhere? I'm reviewing the documents, but never having set up a symbol, nor making anything ngspice compatible, I'm finding the documentation confusing.

I would like to set up symbols to match the various parts I am starting to accumulate. Diodes, transistors, transformers, that sort of thing. I'd also like to be able to run ngspice without having to edit my circuit file each time.



As odd as this sounds, you can't do what you want right now. The
attributes for SPICE netlisting like "model", "file-name", and the like,
are not promoted from the symbol. That means that if you embedd them
into the .sym file, they won't show up in the .sch file & you won't
get them into the netlist.


I understand that Ales is working on changing this. Meanwhile, use
gattrib to quickly set up and change your SPICE attribs after you draw
your schematic.
