Indeed, connecting the bulk to other than the supplies can be important. Still, if one really wants this feature, I'd think it would be easy enough to create a symbol where the bulk terminal is an implicit connection like some of the digital chips have already. Just be sure that you are sure of the right names. I'd think this would be compatible with the existing flow, but perhaps I'm missing something. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
