Hello all,

Thanks for the replies, some of which were a little over my head, some 
left me with more questions.

The testpin symbol is a ready-made solution for one of my problems, 
although I find it puzzling that there are no footprints for this symbol 
in the standard installation.

Bert Timmermans and Phil Taylor basically wrote the solution that I 
first had in mind, but the way to achieve this is still a question for 
me. Bert wrote:

"/I use two single pin symbols in the schematic and connect (and place a 
text "wire bridge"). I use two single pin footprints in the pcb layout 
and draw the "wire" on a separate layer and silkscreen./"

Where can I find pin symbols? In gschem I couldn't find them and the 
symbols under Input/Output (generic) didn't work for me, even when I 
assigned a footprint to them (I used a footprint of a single pin 
header). Is this a case of rolling your own?

In the mean time I used pin headers as a temporary solution and it 
works. The board is a double layer hobby project in order to learn to 
use gEDA, so it doesn't need to be professional, but still.... I want to 
get it right.

Hans
