Hi, Excuse me, I have mixed up global labels with hierarchical labels. Yes, we were talking about hierarchical (inside the subsheet) labels and pin sheets (outside the subsheet). I usually do not use global labels.

An example of one of my circuits: http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imagenmo8.png Instead of a wire connection, it's possible to use local labels. Regards, Pedro. > Can you provide an example?
