It's the pin number. If you want to connect pin 2 to a net, it's :2. There's a patch to have it default to :1, but there's some resistance to it among the developers. I suggested recently that indexed attributes should attach the index to the name rather than the value, thus "net:1=Vcc" (and I think this would help with some other problems). That suggestion was well received, but it's a considerably more drastic change. --- John Doty Noqsi Aerospace, Ltd. This message contains technical discussion involving difficult issues.

I'm a busy person, and in my business "go along to get along" causes mission failures and sometimes kills people, so I tend to be a bit blunt. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
