There used to be a knowledge base item about this but I can't find it now. From memory and experience, however, here's the method of creating custom power objects that behave the same way as the built-in ones:
Create your power symbol as a component in a library making sure it satisfies all of the following conditions. 1. It has only one single pin. 2. That pin is hidden. 3. Its type is 'Power'. 4. The name of the pin is the net name you want (e.g.: AGND ) The length of the pin doesn't matter but the point that establishes connectivity to wires and parts is the STEM of the pin NOT the end. You can place these custom power objects as parts in the Schematic Editor. The good news is they won't appear as components in the netlist!!! So the Netlist Manager or the Synchronizer will not try to place footprints for them. To make them 'invisible' even in BOMs use the old trick of making their Part Type field empty. I discovered these special power objects years ago in a schematic design imported from Orcad.
