I am using gscehm 1.6.2 on Fedora 15. I tried to modify the Linea= r opamp symbol=2C lm741-1.sym=2C to make it conform to the spice model in g= spiceui: gspiceui-0.9.98/examples/lib/opamp/lm741.mod. So I highlighted the component=2C and selected 'Down Symbol' from the He= irarchy menu. This gave me a page in gschem with the symbol=2C where I went= about editing it to obtain conformance - in particular=2C the pin numberin= g. While editing I noticed that the pin type of each pin was set to the sam= e data as the pin number. As well=2C every data field that I checked held t= he same data. Well=2C maybe I don't know how to get the actual data to list= . Is there some magic for this? That wasn't=2C however my main problem. When I saved the page=2C after e= diting and renaming the .sym file=2C I pressed 'Up' in the Heirarchy menu= =2C returning to the .sch file=2C where I chose =93Update Component' from t= he Edit menu. NOTHING happened. The component did not update. Gschem would = highlight the U? On the component=2C but that's it. Further=2C the .sym fil= e I created was nowhere to be found. It should have been in my home directo= ry. I know how to check. It did not exist. I tried several times=2C just to= be sure. Do I have to change permissions somewhere to get this to take?=20 Seems all the .sym files are owned by root. Should I copy them to my loc= al directory and change ownership permissions? Thanks for listening. = --_cc9926ce-9a1a-471a-9f19-0b906d01d0dd_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
