| 1 | When adding a new schematics symbol, please do the following: |
| 2 | |
| 3 | 1) Choose a unique name for the symbol. If the component is available |
| 4 | in packages with different pin numbering schemes, you may want to |
| 5 | add number of pins or the package name to the symbol's base name, |
| 6 | to make the name unique. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | If the package and the number of pins are not relevant for the |
| 9 | schematics symbol, they should not be part of the name. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Example: 74x1g08_5.lib |
| 12 | |
| 13 | 2) Create a .lib file containing just that symbol |
| 14 | |
| 15 | 3) Add a LibName# entry for it at the end of components.pro |
| 16 | The LibName entry must have the form |
| 17 | LibName#=./name.lib |
| 18 | where # is the number of the highest-numbered entry, minus one |
| 19 | |
| 20 | 4) Add the new symbol to HIERARCHY |
| 21 | |
| 22 | 5) Record your authorship in ../AUTHORS |
