In multiple dimensions. Some symbols in the distributed library are =
suitable for Allegro netlisting, many aren=92t. Some work well for one =
or more of the SPICE netlisters. Some don=92t. In my projects, I often =
use a =93spec=94 attribute for secondary specs that don=92t belong in =
=93value=94, but no published symbols have that. Every project needs =
different things from its symbols. It isn=92t just that there are =
billions of different parts in the catalogs (some of which haven=92t =
ever actually been manufactured).
