howdy, Perhaps you folks can help me on this problem we've been having with WorkView. The problem has to do with buses and the "Net has two names" error. A simple example of this problem is when we try to connect a single net on a bus to ground. The ground symbol is simply defined with a net name of "GND" so when we try to label the net the name required to connect it to the bus, we get the error message: "Net has two names." At the moment we get around the problem through the use of a buffer (/lib/builtin/buf.1). This works o.k. for simulation but it sure doesn't netlist correctly. Is there some other way around this problem? -Gill -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gill Watt (watt@eleazar.dartmouth.edu) Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you want the net to be named? GND? Or the name of the label? You can't have both. (Without getting a Warning.) If you want it to be GND, you could just use TEXT instead of LABELs for the net names. If you want it to be the name of the label, and not GND, you could create your own GND symbol that isn't really a GND. (Scary, but possible.) Roger (This is based on my experience with WorkView 3.0. Haven't tried 4.0 yet.)
