Hi Erich Heinzie,
I think so. If I may reformulate it to sho= w that I understand:
The PICAXE14M.sym file contains a statement: footpr= int unknown. When I enter the symbol on the schematic I add the footprint a= ttribute DIP14. The PCB program then picks it up from tha Symbol file and f= ind the DIP14 footprint from /home/gaf/pcb-elements.

Then the files:=
/home/gaf/gschem-sym
(ls /home/gaf/gschem-sym
PICAXE-14M.sym)
=
/home/gaf/pcb-elements
(ls /home/gaf/pcb-elements
DIP14.fp)
/home/.gEDA/gafrc
(cat /home/.gEDA/gafrc
(component-library-search = "/home/gaf/gschem-sym")

should do the job?

But then= , when I have filled in the files, how do I make the PICAXE14M.sym appear c= orrectly in the add->component list?:

.

I want to understand the stuff c= ompletely and really appreciate your help.

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

The usual procedure, after adding you= r symbol to the schematic from a library, is to add an "attribute"= ; to the symbol, in this case a "footprint" attribute, equal to &= quot;DIP14"

The sch= ematic file will end up with an ectra attribute within the picaxe instance,= along the libes of

&quo= t;footprint=3DDIP18"

The PCB layout editor, when you proceed to lay out uour design, is the so= ftware that has an understanding of footprint attributes, and will search i= ts library paths for a DIP18=C2=A0

Does that=C2=A0help?

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

The DIP14 = footprint required in the pcb layout editor will be a .fp file and the raw = file can be downloaded from

http://www.gedasymbols.org/foo= tprints/m4lib/DIP14.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 directory for symbols and for footprints.

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