In general= , gschem is unaware of footprint file names, or the details of any other at= tributes you attach to a symbol from a symbol library

The usual procedure, after adding your symbol to th= e schematic from a library, is to add an "attribute" to the symbo= l, in this case a "footprint" attribute, equal to "DIP14&quo= t;

The schematic file wi= ll end up with an ectra attribute within the picaxe instance, along the lib= es of

"footprint=3D= DIP18"

The PCB layo= ut editor, when you proceed to lay out uour design, is the software that ha= s an understanding of footprint attributes, and will search its library pat= hs for a DIP18=C2=A0

Hi Erich Heinzie,
It should have = been:

/home/gaf/DIP14= .fp

and
(component-library-search "/=
home/gaf/gschem-sym") in the /home/.gEDA/gafrc file
I still have the problem of having PICAXE14M not sho=

Whe=

lot of .fp files, but no .sym files. How should they be handled?

Hi Erich Heinzie,

After following your advice (= a long time ago) I have the following:

/home/gaf/gschem-sym/PICAXE-14M.sym

/home/gaf/pcb-elements/SIP3.fp

(component-library-search "../gschem-sym") in the /home=
/.gEDA$/gafrc file

Should not PICA=

best regards

The above link = will download the raw symbol file as a .sym for use in the gschem schematic= editor

The DIP14 footpr= int required in the pcb layout editor will be a .fp file and the raw file c= an be downloaded from

http://www.gedasymbols.org/footprints/m4lib/DIP= 14.fp?dl

You can= place the respective files in the same directory as your schematic and pcb= layout, but most people will use dedicated directories in their project di= rectory for symbols and for footprints.

It looks d= ifferent from your file if I view it..

Where should I store the file you sent (if it is the file = I should store)?

It looks like the package is a 14-pin DIP, so "DIP14&qu= ot; should work as the footprint.
