Re: gEDA-user: gschem won't connect nets

It really sounds like the end of your pin is not on the grid.

Make sure your pins end on the grid.  You can do this in one of two ways:

1.  Make sure the grid is visible and set to 100.  Then zoom in on the
offending pin and visually make sure the red dot (the pin's end) is on
the grid.

2.  If that fails, you can open your .sch file in a text editor and
inspect the positions of all pins.  The definition of the file format
is here:

http://www.geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:file_format_spec#pin

Make sure that the pins all begin and end with (X, Y) coordinates
ending in a nice round 0 or 00 (i.e. 34100, and not 34124).

HTH,

Stuart
