Hi,

Thanks for replying.

Yes. I figured it out.

However I don't understand which footprint name to write. As I am not able
to get database of gschem, so that I come to know that for resistors I have
to use this nomenclature and for that diode I have to opt for this
nomenclature.

And in some cases I get default correct footprint name such as for
Transistor BC547.

So as a new user it becomes really confusing.

I also tried things by downloading external footprints and using it in
terminal command by pointing it to that directory with .sch file. Here too
bad luck.

Any tips in such scenario ?

Ok. I'll add symbols using http://www.gedasymbols.org/

Thanks For this tip.

As a side note, if you are trying to use the jumpers to implement a<br>
