invoke hidden reference pin?

Question

I'm having issues invoking a hidden reference pin on a shunt regulator in eagle. the case style is SOT-23-3.

Every time I try to invoke it I get the error that the "part has only 1 gate"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

It's not done like that. The "hidden reference pin" is provided by using the LM4041*I component instead of the LM4041. This is because the adjustable (3-pin) device is a fundamentally different device from the fixed 1.2V (2-pin) one, regardless of whether TI decided to give them suspiciously similar names. Eagle does not support components with variable numbers of schematic pins so they must be treated as different devices.
