You are right. AFAIK there is no way to specify the pintype of hidden pins. However, I don't remember any case in which the hidden pins were not power pins, so I think that setting the default pintype value of hidden pins to pwr is ok. If there are no comments about this in a few days, I will review the patch and commit the changes into CVS. Thanks for your work and the attached patch!! Carlos
