Re: gEDA-user: attributes: net and netname

[Steve Meier <smeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On large devices I typically expose one pin for each required voltage
and then have a net=Vcci:G34, D27, D28 ... etc

This way the schematic shows where the device is getting each voltage
supply from without having to show large numbers of pins.

DJ proposed some time back allowing pins to have multiple pin numbers
(he was talking in the context of buses) but again the idea of a symbol
having one expossed power pin and being able to connect the large number
of power pads to it would be useful.
