In my current project I added things like cable side mating connectors and jumpers for the BOM. Works out pretty well, however I do add them to schematics with other components. I can edit the attribs using gattrib. However if I only add a couple of these "accessory" symbols and no symbol containing a pin to an empty schematic gattrib refuses to open it. By the way, I only have one general accessory.sym which I use to add any non-electrical component by giving it the proper attributes (i.e. ordering number and name), see attached. /Jonatan --=-0MFl+8FSeo4AtHbaaLGE Content-Type: application/x-geda-symbol; name="accessory.sym" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="accessory.sym" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 diAyMDEzMDkyNSAyCkIgMCAwIDkwMCA1MDAgMyAwIDAgMCAtMSAtMSAwIC0xIC0xIC0xIC0xIC0x ClQgMCA2MDAgOCAxMCAxIDEgMCAwIDEKcmVmZGVzPUE/ClQgMCA4MDAgNSA4IDAgMCAwIDAgMQph dXRob3I9Sm9uYXRhbiDDhWtlcmxpbmQKVCAxMDAgMjAwIDUgOCAxIDEgMCAwIDEKZGV2aWNlPWFj Y2Vzc29yeQpUIDAgMTAwMCA1IDggMCAwIDAgMCAxCmNvcHlyaWdodD1Kb25hdGFuIMOFa2VybGlu ZCAyMDE0ClQgMCAxMjAwIDUgOCAwIDAgMCAwIDEKZGlzdC1saWNlbnNlPUdQTDMKVCAwIDE0MDAg NSA4IDAgMCAwIDAgMQp1c2UtbGljZW5zZT11bmxpbWl0ZWQKVCAwIDE2MDAgNSA4IDAgMCAwIDAg MQpjb21tZW50PUFuIGFjY2Vzc29yeSB0byBhbm90aGVyIHBhcnQgb24gdGhlIHNjaGVtYXRpYy4g Tm8gZm9vdHByaW50LCBvbmx5IGZvciBCT00uClQgMCAxODAwIDUgOCAwIDAgMCAwIDEKZGVzY3Jp cHRpb249QWRkIHRvIHNjaGVtYXRpYyB0byBhZGQgaXRlbSB0byBCT0IK --=-0MFl+8FSeo4AtHbaaLGE--
