Hmm, yes. You need to invent some 2-pin symbol with some special attributes, and teach the pcb gnetlist backend(s) to interpret those attributes as a net-unification bridge. There should also be a convention how that net should be named in the output. -- Stephan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
