It happens regardless of what I call them, even if I do not name them at all. In many analog circuits you cannot directly connect a power port, you need to provide some chips with their own little RC filters, regulators and whatnot. On battery-operated circuits they are sometimes even switched by, for example, a uC plus P-channel FET. That's why it is crucial that all A-units remain where they are. The annotation routine can rename U2A into U5A but it should never rename it to, for example, U5B. I may be wrong but my impression is that this distinction (treat A-units differently than all others) is missing in Kicad. If that's true I would not be able to switch to Kicad. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam. Use another domain or send PM.
