Re: Schematic Symbol Philosophy?

 

No copy sch symbols, no copy pcb footprints,
more ready parts with same sch symbol and footprint, but different
pins assignment.

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

# next parts
# ...
##########################################

Schematic will can understand as current sch library format as components library format.

Process to add part to schema:
Click "Place component" -> select part from list -> [schematic load sch symbol and add to cache library
new component with reassign pins in accordance fields PINS-ENDPINS and footprint field with footprint name].

I think this is easy way to add part and add new possibility.
What problem is this trying to solve?
