click on the "Place a Power Port"
icon,
click on the drawing, where you want to place the
flag, a box
opens, select "list all", enter
"p" to go directly to the Pxxx
names, select "PWR_FLAG", place it .
Put a Power Flag onto all the incoming power
supplies.
Usually, I've a dedicated place where I connect
all the power
symbols to respective power flags, just to make the
ERC happy.

Thanks for replying. What do you mean by a
"flag"? Is
this the same as a "Power port"?
(e.g. menu: Place >
Power Port > power > GND)?
I looked at the VDD and GND "Power
port" symbols in
power.lib and they have the pin
"Electrical type" set to
"Power input", which doesn't
seem to satisfy the ERC
requirement for a "Power output" on
the net (assuming I
understand the ERC report correctly). Also, I
have four
power signals coming onto the board through
the connector
(switched 3V3A, 3V3B, 3V3C, and 3V3D), which
would seem to
preclude my using an existing 3V3 or VDD power
port.
Can you elaborate?
Thanks,
DaleÂ

Put a power flag on the Gnd net and another
one
on the VDD.
