Hi, Someone who can help me, I'm supposed to have the latest open pdk, but I still don't get the resistor values

<@U03CSQTGFM2> upstream <https://github.com/StefanSchippers/xschem_sky130|xschem-sky130> has resistor symbols showing the resistance value as calculated from W and L geometry (this is an approximate value!). If you don't see the value you are probably using a container with an older version or xschem sky130 symbols.

i updated the pdk, but now the xschem got unconfigured, I cant see skywater

create a directory (example: `mkdir testdir`) and copy the pdk xschemrc file into it: `cp ...../share/pdk/sky130A/libs.tech/xschem/xschemrc testdir`, then cd into testdir and start xschem from there...

For some reason, it’s not finding `ngspice_get_value.sym`, but does find the other primitive devices. Can you check the path? Select a device and press `q`. See if you can see a difference between the `ngspice_get_value` and other devices that are displayed correctly.

<@U03CSQTGFM2> send the *schematic* (.sch) file, send your *xschemrc* file. Try to add this line at the bottom of your xschemrc file:
`append XSCHEM_LIBRARY_PATH :${XSCHEM_SHAREDIR}/xschem_library/devices`
If nothing changes add this:
`append XSCHEM_LIBRARY_PATH :${XSCHEM_SHAREDIR}/xschem_library:${XSCHEM_SHAREDIR}/xschem_library/devices`

when some devices symbols appear (like vsource.sym) and some do not (ngspice_get_value.sym) this means the schematic is screwed up. It has been edited multiple times with different library search path setups.

you may try to do a 'q' on a missing symbol and add `devices/` in front to the symbol name in the Symbol text box.
