gEDA-user: Gschem: net names / symbols question

[Richard Rasker <rasker@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm creating a schematic in which several voltages are used in multiple
locations.
To prevent the clutter of connecting everything, I decided to try using
named nets, and used the generic-power.sym symbol as a default. These
symbols have an attribute "net", and I assumed that symbols with
identical net attributes would be considered as the same net.
Alas, no matter what net name (e.g. +18V) I enter here, I get a large
amount of error messages when running gsch2pcb. Obviously, I'm doing
something basic wrong.

I've searched Google, the gEDA and gschem Wiki's, but I can't find any
explanation on how to use named nets and define visible symbols.

So how do I define or use a symbol which says something along the lines
of "+2.5V" in the schematic, and is connected to all other symbols with
the same name? In the mailing lists I found something where the net name
needed to be defined as name:pin -- but what to enter for pin?

Thanks in advance,

Richard Rasker
