Subject: [geda-help] Editing Symbol Attributes
To: geda-help AT delorie DOT com

Hello,

I'm learning how to make symbols in gschem and am reading the
documentation about the various attributes each symbol should contain.
I had added some hidden attributes when creating my symbol but I can't
figure out how to edit these attributes after I've added them to the
symbol.  I can edit the ones I've added to the various pins but not
the ones that apply to the entire symbol itself.  When creating a
symbol there only seems to be the single attribute editor which
doesn't show a list of the existing attributes. I can only seem to add
new attributes.  Only when editing in the schematic do I find a way to
list all the attributes of a selected symbol.  Is there a way to see
all the attributes of a symbol when creating/editing the symbol itself
(not the schematic but when editing the .sym file I created).  gattrib
program also only seems to operate on the schematic.

 For example, pasted below is a sample symbol file I created. if I
wanted to edit the footprint attribute when editing this .sym file in
gschem how would I do that?
