As to my original problems, using the power forms only re-attempt, once DJ
had reminded me that the error checking was being done after all the
elements are dog piled into a single corner, the shorts dropped done to
two. But even after re-editing the schematic and re-replacing the voltage
regulators and full-wave rectifier bridge symbols with sanitized versions,
and dispersing all elements I STILL get the GND and minus 120V supply rails
listed as shorting each other out on just about every pin. So I still think
there is some hidden assumption that the low side of a 7805 or a full-wave
is going to GND, and that is causing the warning messages. But the rats
still look correct.

  I have gone back to the previous version with one huge top level and 3
separate copies of the sub-schematic and I am trying to layout that
conversion to pcb. The error log shows a much larger list of shorted out
nets, but so far it looks like most of the rat lines go where they should.
I will still have to fix the netlist to combine the 4 instances of the
3phase (and thus 3 slot) MOSFET driver chip (FAN7388). The conversion
turned each slot into a new element, and somehow the top level schematic
got one too. But other than that I may be able to complete the placement
and trace routing if I just ignore the million error messages.
