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.

'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'.
Thank you, Zoran, that did the trick! Strange thing is, I've looked in
other libraries for clues and there are cases where it's the same, main
symbol with "next" and the power with "can", and it works. But, main
thing is, the G$1 is gone.
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.
Usually with multipart symbols I use A, B, C, and so on.
I hope this helps.
It sure did

That's strange because 'next' and 'can' are essentially the same except
for the fact that 'next' is added automatically with ADD command and
'can' can only be added with INVOKE. Gate numbers should be there. Or
maybe I must brush up on this a little 
But, main thing is, the G$1 is gone.
Good Just remember to invoke and connect the power pins if they are
not already implicitly connected to the supply.
