Noob question VCC and VREF

[Ctrl4Smilerz]

Hey guys, I finally have the time to play around with DipTrace. I'm starting by trying to draw the schematic for a TS-808 to get familiar with the program. I added the Rullywow library but I'm getting stuck because I can't find the VCC and VREF "components" What is the best way to set those up?

Do you have a "Ports" category?

No, that's not in the Rullywow library I setup. I'm willing to try a different library if you can recommend one.

try the "supply pins" category

Yeah, that's where I though it would be too.

I suppose you can use +9V and VR.
Just make sure that +9V is label name, not a solderpad name.

Switched to the Sheepylove library and everything is there. Problem fixed.

But also, for those who come later asking similar questions, you can use any supply pin or port and simply rename it to whatever you like.

yeah I just use VR and VC in the pins, same deal

Perfectly adequate. I've gone through a few phases of calling them different things. The main learning point for newer builders is that a port is going to connect to every other port with the same name.
