Adding custom global nets

[NavyJay]

Hi,

I'm looking for an easy way to add my own global "T" power nets, rather than renaming the existing ones.  I have a set of regulators that are being used to generate a series of voltages and am trying to power various components located in nested hierarchical blocks.  The offsheet connectors appear to be local to each block and are not seen in subblocks.

Any ideas how this might be easily done?

It is kin of hard to visulize what you have from your post. Is there any way you could post your file or a picture of it so we can get a better idea on what may be needed?

Your spreadsheet view should be able to list all of the nets within the page/block and allow you dynamic selection and grabbing allowing you to rename it.

If I read your question correctly.

The attached files illustrate a power block and a simple voltage follower block inserted into a test bed.  The idea is to have the 15VDC supply node from the power block power the opamps in the voltage follower block.  In this case, the 15V VCC "T" supply is an ideal noiseless voltage (V* in the SPICE netlist) and the off-page connector labeled "15VDC" does not connect the positive rail to the supply.  In fact, this power pin is left 'floating' around 50 VDC for no apparent reason.  Is there a method to create my own global net across hierarchical blocks that will supply power from my voltage references?
