Many globals with its own voltage

StreamCX

I need to create some global or take it. I have vdda from AnalogLib and vddd.

Anyway I need 4 globals with my own voltage. 

Hw can I do it? 

//When I copy vdda in my lib with another name, error exist.

    To define a global net, you don't need to use one of these "tap" symbols. You can simply label the wire as (say) "myvdd!".

    However, to make the change - it's easy. Copy (say) vddd from analogLib to your library (I called it vddx). You only need to copy the symbol. Then open the vddx/symbol view, select the pin, and change the terminal name from vddd! to vddx! - and that's all you need to do.

    Thanks, this works. Also I do this with schematic, not only symbol.

    Although you don't really need the schematic. I see you must have fixed your loop of rigid branches which was mentioned in your post (presumably you've edited it) - that would have been caused by voltage sources in parallel in your schematic, not really anything to do with this.

    Andrew.
