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: http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:na_howto --8323329-1136720724-1486759268=:1974--
