Naming a wire (net)

e14candies

 

I have a few wires (nets) that I'd like to give names to (such as Vbatt,

PWM_CTL, etc)....then other wires on the same page are given the same names

to establish connectivity between them without a lot of wire clutter.  In

the past, I've added little arrow symbols (as components), but this time

I'd like to name the wires directly for less clutter. Just have the desired

name setting alongside a long wire. 

 

I see that I can do an info on a wire (net) & edit the netname, but the

name is not shown on the schematic.  Am I missing something?  Or maybe you

are forced to add  arrow symbols (components).

    Use LABEL to make  the name visible. Or do a CHANGE x-ref = on and then

    use the label command. You'll see the difference image
