Re: Schematic Symbol Philosophy?

 

Not fullyunderstood. I meant that part libs is complement component libs
but don't change current components using. Part libs are optional for using.

Maybe add new file format "components library" that consist something
like that:

##########################################
EESchema-COMP-LIBRARY Version x.x

PART "part_id"
SYMBOL "sch_symbol_lib_name" "sch_symbol_name"
FOOTPRINT "pcb_footprint_lib_name" "pcb_footprint_name"
PINS
#sch_symb_pin    pcb_footprint_pin            // pins assignment
1    2
2    4
4    A
ENDPINS
ENDPART
This kind of structure will be needed and abit more to manage pin and
gate swapping... Please guys spend some time searching the archives, I
promise it pays off by saving poor keyboards ;)

Pin and gate swapping means swapping equivalent function pins (multiple
inputs of a AND gate or MCU ports) in a part/component and gate swapping
meand swapping equivalent funtion units in multi-part component (e.g.
dual opamp or quad NAND gate) to optimize layout.

Currently such is completely manual in Kicad.
