The correct thing to do is the same thing everyone else on the planet is doing. This means, crossed lines without a dot are not connected, crossed lines with a dot are. That's the standard, that's what everyone does, so we do it also.
A wire jump tells the reader _explicitely_ "Here are two wires crossing". Two lines just crossing may trigger the question: "Are these lines connected or not?". The original poster was asking for a "better" way than a wire jump, and in my opinion there isn't. gschem doesn't support automagically generation of wire jumps so most users (me included) do not take the hassle to generate them by hand. When they _are_ automagically generated, like in Visio, I tend to use them as there are no questions like "do those lines cross or are they connected?" during presentations. -- Svenn _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
