You give a great example for making my case. The more complex and/or important power is, the more important that it is on it's own symbol. If power management, filtering, etc, gets complex, it clearly deserves it's own sheet and should be logically separated from signal-path functionality. -dave _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
