Oh! is that all, just shove some 1pin connectors on the cct and connect that to the power net, you can then place the connector on the PCB wherever you want and use it as a pad.
One thing, I prefer to modify the pad settings for the 1 pin connector, so that I have more copper and a smaller hole. I'm not quite sure what you mean by assigning powers to modules, that's all done via eeschema so there is nothing to assign in cvtpcb. You should find that when you run pcbnew you will see the powerlines in the ratsnest (Sorry if I've still got hold of the wrong end of the stick, perhaps you could explain a little more) You can get into a bit of a muddle if you design your own libs and modules and get the pin names and numbers out of step, which can cause all sorts of errors Andy On Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:13:56 -0000 "Andres Cimmarusti" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Andy, > > Thanks for the swift reply.
