G$1 next to reference designator, how to get rid of this?

Former Member

After creating a symbol for a 74AHC1G14GW,12574AHC1G14GW,125 by copying a symbol from the TTL

library of a six-part device I have a problem, and playing with SWAP or

NEXT does not fix this:

 

When I place it on a schematic it'll say "U6G$1". It always adds G$1 to

the refdes. How can I make that go away?

 

Using Eagle 4.16.

  • How many gates (symbols) are there in your device and what are their add

    levels?

    There are three:

     

    A Schmitt inverter, add level "Next"

     

    A power symbol, add level "Can"

     

    A no-connect symbol, add level "Can"

     

    I have set the add levels to other entries, no luck, that darn G$1

    always shows up.

    Try changing a power symbol and no-connect symbol add level to 'request'

    and leave the inverter at 'next'. When adding the part to the schematic,

    only the inverter gate will be added and you will have to invoke the

    other two if you want them placed.

     

    'G$#' is an automatic gate name that Eagle sets when adding a symbol to

    a device, where # is the gate number. When having multiple 'next' or

    'can' gates of the same device in a schematic, a gate name is appended

    to the part name, that's why you are getting 'U6G$1'.

     

    You might also want to rename the gate from an automatic 'G$1' to

    something more meaningful, e.g. '-#'; that way you would have something

    like that when adding several 'next' or 'can' gates from one device:

    'U6-1', 'U6-2', 'U6-3', and so on.

     

    I hope this helps.
