I am using the npn transistor in gschem, both pinlabel and pinnumber have alphanumeric labels. Somebody here mentioned a script for mapping these alphanumeric labels to footprint pin numbers. Can I get gschem2pcb or netlister to run this script?

I also discovered pinnumber is used in netlist but guess the netlist used by pcb should use footprint pin numbers. Could this be possible: pinlabel is text displayed in gschem which usually is same as pinnumber but do not have to, pinseq is used for footprint pin number, the footprint pin numbers may be available as default or mapped by gsch2pcb script?


This also enlightened my mind. For footprints numbers make sense but for symbols name make much more sense. It is much simple to map a label with useful name to a pin number than mapping two numbers.
