I’m trying to figure out if I have a real issue here, or if KiCAD is just having a brain fart. I have two TL072s running in parallel and one of them is throwing this error when I run ERC, but the other is not. They’re literal copies of one another driving two identical copies of a circuit. Is this post destined for the dumbassery thread and I just haven’t realized it yet?
I usually just shut that error up by throwing a power flag on the power header pins. It seems arbitrary cuz sometimes I don’t get that error at all.
If the op amp power pins connect in PCBNew it should be fine regardless of whether you use a power flag or not.
I tried that actually. It then gave an error that there were two power sources on each rail 
What happens if you use the “conn02x05” (or whatever it’s called) symbol instead of what you have there?
Good suggestion. Unfortunately I get the same error using that symbol. (The one I had in there before is from @analogoutput 's library.)
I think I have it sorted now though. For some reason it still threw errors if i put PWR_FLAG on the net next to the power connector, but if I put the PWR_FLAG all the way to the left by the +12v/-12v inputs, it worked.
Either that, or the ritual sacrifices finally paid off.
