Can a generic symbol (sup) be created?

alank2

Hi,

 

I noticed in the supply libraries that there is a symbol for each type, 5v, 3.3v, etc.  It looks like the SUP type is what makes this work.  I tried to create a symbol with this type with the idea that I could use it for many nets.  For example, add it.  Use the name to assign a name.  Then add another.  Assign the same name.  Items with the same name would be linked.  I have discovered that that links them is the PIN name in the symbol itself, which there is no way to change when adding to a schematic.  Must you create a seperate symbol for each symbol type?

 

Thanks,

  • Hi,

     

    If I put a single part on each sheet and then add a net to one pin on each part and then use the name to join the two nets together, the warning still comes up.  Do you put something at the end of the net when using multiple sheets and a net goes only from one pin on one sheet to one pin on another?

     

    The way Eagle handles these "unwired" but connected nets seems so much harder than it needs to be.  I don't know why they don't just have a single pin symbol you add and then tell it which net it goes to...

     

    Thanks,

    I rather like this warning. It reminds me to put labels on nets that

    are present on more than one sheet.
