Hi Chad,
Thank you for your reply.
In fact I had begun combining diff. syms with different fps - I had no
other choice. I have also started to modify fps to serve my needs. There is
a long way to go, though. I think that the only requirement there is, is
that the pin configuration is the same for sym and fp or at least that the
number of pins in sym and fp is the same (or at least that the number of
holes in the fp is not less that the number of pins in the sym)?
Best regards
torben

r infinite number of specific parts. That means you don&#39;t have to gener=
ate a new symbol for a 210 ohm resistor, 220 ohm resistor, 221 ohm, 226 ohm=
... etc.<br></div><div><br></div><div>In a heavy library, you do associate =
symbols with footprints. That means that you&#39;re deciding which package =
to use when you put down the symbol on the schematic. You may or may not be=
 ready to do that when you&#39;re still designing the electrical circuits. =
It also means that now you need to have a symbol for each of the different =
packaging options (741 in a DIP-8, 741 in a SOIC-8, 741 in a TSSOP-8...). S=
o, now we would end up with 10 symbols for the 741 op-amp that were all ide=
ntical, but with different footprint properties.</div><div><br></div><div>T=
he other issue with heavy symbols that can crop up if you&#39;re not carefu=
l is if the footprint were to change. Perhaps you make a special version of=
 a SOIC-8 that has a heat sink pad underneath it for a part. Then maybe a y=
ear later you copy that project to use a template for a new project. In the=
 new project you want the original footprint, but the way your paths are se=
t up, you unintentionally pick up the modified one from your previous proje=
ct.</div><div><br></div><div>That said, there are some parts in the librari=

                            When your computer is configured correctly
                            you should be able to run <i><b>gschem</b></i>
