I am on KiCAD 6.06 and have pared down my problem to the simple attached schematic. I am redrawing an Orcad board in which the prior author gives names to various networks, including those associated with power networks. I see some problems here:
-
If I grab the upper right corner trace, I see that “test1” moves with its connector and “test2” does not. What is happening here? I played a bit with it and cannot always seem to associate labels with their networks.
-
Are labels just that----labels—or do they have a deeper electrical significance in KiCAD. The seem to actually designate network for example.
-
if you run an ERC you will see a complaint about the redundancy between between 12V and “test1”. Fair enough, and this is only a warning–but are multiple networks names not acceptable?
Interestingly “test2” is fine because it is just 'floating" e.g. not associated with a connector.
