If you consider the current situation regarding global labels and heirarchical labels as "normal" then nothing I have done in my branch alters normal behaviour. The intra-sheet link elements exist only to allow design engineers to mark otherwise dangling wires as being meant to join (via net-name) to other wires on the same sheet of the schematic. If that net *also* has global or heirarchical labels on it, then they shall behave exactly as before. Nothing I have done alters how the wires and pins end up grouped into nets, nor alters how those nets then derive their names. It's all for ERC and style checking. I hope that makes things a little more clear. D. -- Daniel Silverstone http://www.digital-scurf.org/ PGP mail accepted and encouraged.
