My proposal to solve the problem (and also the problem of hidden power connections): 1) rename all net=xxx attributes in all symbols with power=xxx, 2) have a little tool in gschem that can do a) add an external net=yyy attribute that connects (for example) pin 14 of U1 (which is 7400) to a

Having multiple netnames should not be a problem and work sometimes. Methinks that having multiple netnames for the same net should ALWAYS trigger a DRC error. For connecting different nets there must be a schematic which connects the nets. Why should manual connecting nets be an

Hi all, I have a terrible problem which I could not solve :-( I have a set of circuits drawn with gschem. I use gsch2pcb to make the netlist and use it in pcb I allways get the following message: WARNING: Trying to rename something twice: PLUS5V and PLUS5V are both a src and dest name

I have three nets which use different names but should connected. This is Vcc because this is used in an avr symbol, then I use +5V from an other symbol (power) and then I have a net called PLUS5V. In one That is the problem. Make your symbols netname free. One net should have

Well hierarchicaly I use presidence to determine the netname. The netname is set from the top out. So no having multiple netnames for the same net shouldn't always trigger a drc error. There should be a rule for which name to use under certain circumstances. One case where I used multiple net
