Re: gEDA-user: gschem add net problem

[Josh Jordan <outerspaceman81@xxxxxxxxx>]

    This sounds familiar to me.  I think I've seen this before and had to
    add 1-unit segments going down to connect all the parts to the
    horizontal net line.

    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.

    existing net.
