Subject:	[geda-user] Pin mapping (separate symbols from mappings)

I think it would be rather good to separate symbols from pin mapping and in such case symbols would have symbolic information only.

In gschem schematic could be started with a fast sketch there details are filled in later then more information is available and this is one of the best things with gschem.

To keep this strength symbols should be used to draw the schematic and mappings selected later. To make this work there would need to be a pin mapping attribute to select which mapping to use, this attribute could of course already have a default value and it could also be to a slot.



I have used other tools there the mapping is added and in such case all information including value must be known then symbol is added which is usually not the case.
