Really? So now instead of having a nice clean schematic with net names like clk, _clk, reset and _reset I have to have clk:1, _clk:1... Is the way around that making the net attribute not visible and making the value attribute visible giving it the net name I want to show up on the

gEDA-user: Out and In symbols in gschem & getting net names to come out in PCB

2011-05-01 Thread Rob Butts
I'm using out and in symbols in gschem to label nets in a schematic and tie nets together without traces running everywhere. I set the net attribute of the corresponding out and in symbols in the schematic to the same value (clk for example) and connect these symbols to various pins
