Moving this into a new thread...

I have created a hierarchical set of schematics, with major signal routed
between subcircuits. The only other links between subcircuits are intented
to be on the power nets (+15v:1, 0v:1 and -15v:1).

The power nets are linked with a generic-power symbol, with the net name
given by the 'net' attribute.

When I run gsch2pcb, the Nets viewer shows that each subcircuit has its own
instance of these nets - they don't appear to be merged. Is this just a
display oddity? I will run a small test-case to see if this is the case.

My other concern is that of ICs with the same refdes, but different symbols
(i.e. a 'functional' and 'power' version of an Op Amp, as per other
thread). When these different symbols exist in distinct subcircuits,
gsch2pcb is not merging the symbols, rather creating two with names SS1/U1
and SS2/U1, which clearly results in non-sensical output when parts are put
on to the board (unless I can get a quantum part that can exist in two
places at once...).

Any advice on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
James.
