I want to take an existing symbol for a terminal block and expand it to 
more pins.  I tried loading it into gschem and I can't figure out how to 
do it.  I've used a few cad programs over the years and I recall you 
would draw a part by drawing lines, etc. and then "group" them.  Often 
you could ungroup them to modify the part.  I was looking at gschem and 
trying to do the same thing, but to no avail.

Is there a way I could use a CAD program to build a part and store it in 
a format that gschem might be able to use?   Or whatever?

Thanks,
Jim.
