A gschem fuse symbol is a 2-node object. If I assign the footprint "fuseL", PCB connects the 2 rats to the same end of the fuse. "fuseL" is a 4-pin device & the rats are assigned to pins 1 & 2, but pads 1&2 belong to the same metal fuse clip. I fixed my 1st pcb attempt in Emacs by changing fuseL pin 2->4 in the net, and adding a pin 2 (clone of pin 1)& pin 3 (clone of pin 4) in the nets. Now the rats correctly connected to each end of the fuse & also connected both pads of each fuse clip. What is the correct way to fix this? Surely users must be faced with the situation where a logical connection on a symbol maps to more than 1 pin on a physical element. The desired outcome is a rat that connects to each physical pin. I could alter the fuseL element pins viz: 2 -> 4 4 -> 3 3 -> 2 The rat would now connect correctly to each end of the fuse, but would only connect to 1 pad, not both. -- Greg Cunningham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
