[SOLVED] making a new device in eagle ... with copied power supplies

[analogLow]

Hello-

I am building a new device for a 64 pin IC socket. There are multiple versions of the same supply voltage throughout the chip. For example, I need to connect my GND at pin#1 and GND at pin#30.

When I build the symbol for the IC socket in eagle, it requires that I use different pin names for each pin (e.g. GND1 at pin#1 and GND30 at pin#30). Any way around this? In other words, I want the pin name GND at both pin#1 and pin#30.

Thanks,
analogLow

If you name the pins GND@1 GND@2 etc then in the final part they will all be called GND which I think is what you want. You cannot have duplicate names but that gets round the problem. If you call them GND1, GND2 etc then they will be named GND1, GND2 etc.

Thanks ... this is a much cleaner solution. Now when I add the part to my .sch file, GND is listed for all the GND@1, GND@2 pins.
