You are not the only one confused :-) You said: " I set my grounds on chip pins to inputs to satisfy a DRC check"
So I assumed that you do have some ground pins. Take a look at the 7400 in the lib editor as an example to follow. Look at pin 7 which is grey as it is set to NO Draw. Select the pin and right click then bring up the properties. The pin name is GND, this is the SAME name as one of the power ports, in this case GND. It is of type Power In. A GND power net will now automatically connect to this pin. The GNBD net will need to be "energised" so thats when you add the power flag to the net. Is that what you needed ?
