tragesym is a small python script that creates geda symbols out of structured textfiles. For creating a symbol you have to edit the sourcefile first. You can use the template.src file, which is in /examples/tragesym/ directory. Some examples are in the examples/tragesym directory too. For possible footprint names take a look into the ~geda directory of the PCB program. usage is: tragesym After you have translated the sourcefile to the symbolfile you have to rearrange some pins with gschem, translate the symbol to the origin and save it in an appropriate symbol directory. Make the attributes visible while doing that (edit->show hidden text) and hide the text again before saving. tragesym requires python (versions greater 1.5 should work).
