Re: gEDA-user: preferred power connection style?

[Xtian Xultz <xultz@projetos.etc.br>]

We are doing here so:

We create the component (like the microcontroler) without any power
pins. Next, we create a new component with just the power pins. 
In the design, I put both parts on the sheet, and name it with the same
name, like U1 for both. 
Its a good way, because I put the power box near the power supply, with
supress capacitors near the power lines, etc, and the design stays clean
and with a good look. 
I really dont like use the net= attribute because looking the sheet
pinted, I dont have exactly the sense of where the power is connected,
or if it is connected. Its a trouble when you design the diagram,
generates the netlist, design the PCB and have sure about if it really
correct. Then I send the design to made a PCB and it is wrong, damn, is
terrible...
