I would love it if I didn't need the :1 on netlist names. Right now I do not have :1 on my net names, and I have my makefile make a copy of all my schematics, and run sed -i -e 's/^\(net=.*\)/\1:1/' on them to add a :1. It works okay, but it's annoying that there are duplicate files created, and some makefile rules (creating a pdf or png) need to use the original files, while others (DRC, making a netlist) need to use the modified files. - Miles On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 1:18 PM, Stefan Salewski <m...@ssalewski.de> wrote: > > On Thu, 2009-06-11 at 13:47 -0500, Mark Rages wrote: > > In http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:scg, referring to the "device=" attribute: > > > > > This attribute should not be used as a label.
