DJ,
Thanks - I had a suspicion this was the way to go, but good to get
confirmation. Girvin: I've implemented this method in my schematic, but
haven't seen what the netlister / PCB layout software makes of it yet. It
certainly unclutters the schematic though.
Yours,
James.

I have seen this done on production schematics. =A0However, I am not sure t=

The two methods sound redundant. =A0Using the symbol attributes "hardw=
