Bug Description
Take any component, e.g. TEST from device.lib. It's definition in the file looks like this:
#
# TEST
#
DEF TEST P 0 40 N N 1 F N
F0 "TP" 0 300 50 H V C BNN
F1 "TEST" 0 250 50 H V C CNN
F2 "" 0 0 50 H V C CNN
F3 "" 0 0 50 H V C CNN
DRAW
P 6 0 1 0 0 200 -50 150 0 100 50 150 0 200 0 200 N
X ~ 1 0 0 100 U 50 50 1 1 P
ENDDRAW
ENDDEF
and then hide its VALUE-field and save the lib in the symbol editr. The component becomes:
#
# TEST
#
DEF ~TEST TP 0 40 N N 1 F N
F0 "TP" 0 300 50 H V C BNN
F1 "TEST" 0 250 50 H I C CNN
F2 "" 0 0 50 H V C CNN
F3 "" 0 0 50 H V C CNN
DRAW
P 6 0 1 0 0 200 -50 150 0 100 50 150 0 200 0 200 N
X ~ 1 0 0 100 U 50 50 1 1 P
ENDDRAW
ENDDEF
Note that now we have "DEF ~TEST" instead of "DEF TEST" before.
Best,
JAN
