I use the "net=" technique uniformly everywhere. The main reason is that for things like switches that have "mechanical" pins, I want to use the generic switch symbol. Note that for some things, like I/O connector shells, it is important that the shell be connected to ground for shield purposes, so I don't like to leave them unconnected. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
