What are you trying to do?
If you want to connect the net “Vdd” to the net “20V_IN”, you have to add
the attribute “netname=20V_IN” to a net object, not to the component.
If you want to change the power symbol from “Vdd” to “20V_IN”, you have to
add the attribute “net=20V_IN:1” to the power symbol. (I pushed an
experimental branch some time ago which would allow you to use
“netname=20V_IN” instead, but that hasn't been merged to master, yet.)
See here for more information on how the “net=” attribute works:
