Re: gEDA-user: gschem add net problem

[Phil Taylor <phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I usually draw net stubs coming off any long net for the visual safety of seeing each one fully drawn.  The risks of not doing it this way seem to great.  It also makes different sized symbols fit in parallel without issue.

So for three parallel symbols sharing one net there would be at least four net line segments graphically.  (one stem and three stubs).  Compared to the effort one takes to create a full schematic, this small extra bit of drawing matters little.

Regards, Phil
