This means complex but I think so. If we have a library with grafic representation of symbol however we have a list of declarations of pin functions, Vcc, GND etc. Then the problem especified to transistor go away. We can choice a preferred symbol and then we can make its pins definitions from a litle combo box or otherthing.
But the problem, isn't this the same of to create many symbols like to92-ebc.sym, to92-bce or npn-to92-bce.sym etc...
If we have many choive to apply one componente what happen to the produtivity?

Is possible to create a dialog box to export net-list? Then we can choice the apropriates pin-functions and footprints to the devices that have not this very well, this is what ocours in OrCad.
