Re: gEDA-user: attributes: net and netname

["Ian Chapman" <ian.chapman@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
       I never set net and netname to any value, I just leave them the way
they are in the symbol.  I do use the net attribute with
off-page-connections that is with the IO out/in symbol I set net to
sig-name:1 (invisible) and value to sig-name (visable).  I wonder what the
significance is of the ":1" tagged onto the end of the net value.

       I can visualize what DJ is saying with an IO symbol since it has only
one pin to connect to the net and only one netname to look after.  With a
144 pin CPLD there are a lot of nets and netnames to put somewhere.  To be
honest I do not care as long as it works and what I am doing works out just
fine but a better understanding could not hurt.  Regards Ian.


"net" is the name of a net you connect to.

"netname" is the name of the net you *are*.

So, "net" has-a "netname", symbol connects-to "net".
