I have a recent board that needed just one part from the standard "74" library, a 7414. So, I placed an instance, attached a net=+3.3D: 14 attribute to it, copied it five times, and slotted it. Kind of sloppy, but I was in a hurry. +3.3D is the system name for the net. Gnetist is unhappy: Found a cpinlist head with a netname! [Vcc] Found a cpinlist head with a netname! [Vcc] Found a cpinlist head with a netname! [Vcc] Found a cpinlist head with a netname! [Vcc] Found a cpinlist head with a netname! [Vcc] Found a cpinlist head with a netname! [Vcc] However, the netlist appears to be OK. > > There should be a rule for which name to use under certain > circumstances. > > One case where I used multiple net names for a single net was when a > symbol had hidden pins for VCC and VDD.
