Symbol Pins #31

Closed ouabache closed 5 years ago

ouabache commented 5 years ago

The symbol pins should have an "Invisible" property for when the pin name is not needed and would only clutter up the schematic. This is common with digital gates.

You should also consider moving the symbol pin into a library that can be attached to either a symbol body or schematic. gEDA did this with bus rippers and it will make it easier to deal with pins,ioports, bus spilitters and global symbols with having to rewrite code.

That's already possible (used e.g. for resistors and capacitors). But it's defined in the component symbol variant, not in the symbol itself: grafik

This is what you already proposed in #19, right?

ouabache commented 5 years ago

Found the component section and it works. Thank you.

Yes it is the same as #19, I am still lobbying for it.

ubruhin commented 5 years ago

OK, so I'm closing this (#19 stays still open).
