Using tilde inside labels may confuse ERC module in Eeschema (lp:#1522583)
Original report created by Kerusey Karyu (keruseykaryu-deactivatedaccount)
Eeschema permits the use of tilde character (~) in labels to distinguish
inverted signals.
You can use both "~LABEL" and "~LABEL~" scheme which has the same visual
effect: the label become overscored.
Unfortunately for the ERC module these two labels are different which
results in an ERC error:
"ErrType (2): Pin not connected (and do not connect the symbol found on
this pin)"
I see two options, keeping current functionality:
- Eeschema will automatically add the ending tilde, when will not find
another one in the string.
- Eeschema will remove the final tilde if there are no more characters
following the tilde.
