As the net 'NoConnection' was ignored somwhere else in the

Sure! It should be ignored!

Hi,

in the meantime I used gsch2pcb with my schematic to get the
import for pcb. In pcb I saw that the NoConnection net had been
imported too! And it was in the rats nest, just like any other net
(and the autorouter happily connected my nc-pins :-).
So I decided to modify my copy of gnet-PCB.scm, too. (The attached patch is produced with "diff -U4 gnet-PCB.scm.orig gnet-PCB.scm" against release 20060123 in the geda-gnetlist/scheme directory).

Best regards,
Holger.


I'm generally opposed to using "special" netnames. I've managed to jump in here late in the discussion, but it seems to me that you shouldn't be connecting your schematic up as a short.

Don't forget, you have 26 other backends besides the PCB backend.

Was this just to keep drc2 from complaining about unconnected pins?

If so, perhaps we can come up with a better no connect symbol which doesn't use a fixed net name.
