Hi DJ,

Thank you very much for the prompt reply.I was reading the gschem
documentation <http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gschem_symbol_creation>,
and it says the pinseq needs to be a number. The pinnumber can be
alphanumeric. That's what I did in my symbol  fp file. I did find a mistake
in the regulator symbol file
<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwuQXPvkmCadTXNoS1JuNEVsb2s>. There
should be no "L71" thanks for catching that. It's just an alphanumeric grid
with letters for rows and numbers for columns. I fixed the pinnumber
mistakes and can see pinname is "unknown-2" It seems to be looking for a
pinsequence.

I ran gschlas -e <foo.sh> and got this file
<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwuQXPvkmCadWl9ZUDd4Yjg5aFU>. I don't
see why my schematic symbol is not working with this footprint.

In 170804_RegulatorSchematic, I can see the pins have pinnumber assigned as
"K7" and pinsequence assigned a positive integer.

I ran through gsch2pcb and still, nothing gets attached to that regulator.

I am noticing some of the library symbols do not use alphanumeric
pinnumbers. Perhaps I should also do that?

Best,
Chris

Importing the schematic into the pcb will replace the &quot;name&quot; fiel=

the pinnames from the schematic, so they end up with names like &quot;ENABL=
