Yes, I understand that, but what I don't quite understand is what the result of your ERC will be in the case you have a local label on sheet A, then use the diamond marker on a dangling, but also connect a new global label to that net. Move to sheet B, use the global label and set the diamond or not on sheet B. Will it still report dangling nets? > D. > > -- > Daniel Silverstone http://www.digital-scurf.org/ > PGP mail accepted and encouraged.
