Hi.

I have a schematic that is made of a custom symbol and subschematic to
avoid repeating the same block all over again. Everything works fine
so far. It turns out that I need the footprint of one of the two
resistors in that subschematic to be "RADIAL_CAN 200" instead of
"R025" ¹.

So far the only things I managed to do are

* either I update my PCB and edit the PCB file in an editor to change
  the definition of the resistor element (which gets added everytime I
  update the PCB, of course)

* or I manually add the radial element, delete the old one and edit
  names and nets using the dialogue boxes.

Either way is a bit tedious in the long run.

The sub schematics components in question are named "R1:U1" (with the
radial footprint) and "R1:U2" (with the "R025" footprint). Can I make
that change permanent and how?

FTR I'm also using `gsch2pcb` and a project file in which I store
parameters and other command line options to `pcb`.

Thanks in advance for any hint or suggestion.

¹ I have added a footprint attribute to every component in the
sub-schematic in question.

C.F.
