But but but ... please sir, what if I have more that four grounds? Global
search and replace doesn't help me then. Though your point is good -
reading between the lines, use bar symbols for a few of the grounds and
then global search and replace to ensure all the others match.
Still not as safe as being able to see the actual net name nearby *all*
power symbols (it should of course be an option and accessible by the
global search and replace functions, if implemented).
I will stick to bars with the net name showing - I always try to err on the
side of safety even at the expense of making the schematic less beautiful.
(Your are right about Mr. Thomas's advise on creating a customised toolbar
- something that I haven't done but should think about.)
