Invisible information in the schematic is bad(tm). That's why I prefer separated power symbols. These explicitly wear all the power pins a component needs. They can be put somewhere in the backwaters of the sheet. That way I avoid cluttering of the schematic but still have all the power pins visible in print. However, support for such multi part symbols is not complete, yet. Renumber does not honor shared refdeses. The part with the footprint attribute has to be inserted last. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
