We are doing here so: We create the component (like the microcontroler) without any power pins. Next, we create a new component with just the power pins. In the design, I put both parts on the sheet, and name it with the same name, like U1 for both. Its a good way, because I put the power box near the power supply, with supress capacitors near the power lines, etc, and the design stays clean and with a good look. I really dont like use the net= attribute because looking the sheet pinted, I dont have exactly the sense of where the power is connected, or if it is connected. Its a trouble when you design the diagram, generates the netlist, design the PCB and have sure about if it really correct. Then I send the design to made a PCB and it is wrong, damn, is terrible...
