Hi Vaughn,

I've opened the different IC symbols and displayed the details. Some
use Vcc, others VDD, some VSS, others GND. So I added Vcc and VDD to a
+5V symbol and the other two to the ground symbol. Didn't help,
I've embedded all the components, and it still doesn't consolidate
+5V and Vcc.
John was only meaning embedding symbols in a .sch file for purposes of sharing
it with us.
I'm using gschem version 20060123. Do any of the versions have known
bugs in this respect?
Not that I know...this is a feature vs. bug issue. This feature of gschem and
the existing libraries means you will have to learn to edit your own symbols
to suit your style. If you use embedded power pins you are forced to make each
symbol unique for the power names you are using in all pages of your schematics
because gschem and gnetlist make and use flat netlists where signal names
(attribute=netname) are connected across pages.
It is best to "Just say no!" to embedded power pins ;-)
Sorry, I'm a newbie, I don't know how to do that. If it involves
redesigning existing symbols, I don't have time to change them all. If
there is another way to do it, I'm open to suggestions.
John is suggesting you Just say no in a wholesale way right now before you get
bogged down in them by using his script:
John Griessen
The script below will create a symbol without embedded power connections
for each symbol file found in the current working directory. See the script
for usage information. Backup your files in the CWD just in case.
