Thanks, Andy, but it does not help. It then shows ugly stubs on all the units and it still messes up the annotation, meaning the power connections are ripped open and the A-unit lands somewhere with unconnected power. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ > > > On Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:15:47 -0700 > Joerg <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hello Folks, >> >> This could be a bug but not sure: When placing multi-unit components >> such as the LM324 opamp the power pins show up on all units.
