yes, this is fine if your chip has multiple pins which are internally connected (and the hidden net name isn't one of Vdd or Vcc or anything similar). The thing is when you have multiple chips requiering different Vdd voltages and they all have the Vdd or Vcc hidden net internally. Then you cannot connect separate supply voltage to them without either adding another attribute in the schematic or altering the symbol to make the supply pin show. -- Jonatan Åkerlind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
