Hello Daniel,
I'm having some issues with connectivity of crossing wires.
If two wires cross as in a plus sign and there is a dot on the
connection, xcircuit doesn't consider the corresponding signals
connected.
If the plus sign is formed by four wires which all meet in the center,
then the signals are considered connected.
If one wire butts into another in a 'T' shape, then those signals are
also considered connected.
http://opencircuitdesign.com/xcircuit/tutorial/tutorial2.html
indicates that two crossing wires should work (though it mentions that
the dot is required in that case).
I've attached a small example which illustrates the problem. As-is, this
circuit produces the following pcb netlist:
vcc C13-1 U1-8
vee C14-2 U1-4
int4 C13-2 C14-1
If the ground wire is edited so that it meets the wire between the two
capacitors, then it produces this pcb netlist:
vcc C13-1 U1-8
vee C14-2 U1-4
gnd C13-2 C14-1
Yes, putting a dot over crossing wires is definitely supposed to make
them connect in the netlist, and I can't think of why anything would
break that.
I think the email list may not allow attachments (anti-spam measure), so
can you please forward the example directly to me? Thanks!
Regards,
Tim
