<@1079361271687807026> i'm still seeing these massive net labels

i want to stress that this is NOT a skill fix

## Seve — 2026-07-22T02:26:51.838000+00:00

core should never output this

## Mustafa7 — 2026-07-22T06:54:05.424000+00:00

So what would be the output instead of that long labels?

`Name?` labels?

## Seve — 2026-07-22T13:43:04.806000+00:00

We should never output labels that long- we need to set a displayName for those labels or something

## Seve — 2026-07-22T13:43:29.338000+00:00

I suggested NAME? and a warning before

## Mustafa7 — 2026-07-22T14:21:21.281000+00:00

Ok

## Mustafa7 — 2026-07-22T14:33:47.171000+00:00

The `Name?` labels would be eligible for traces but what about `connections` prop?

## Mustafa7 — 2026-07-22T14:33:59.087000+00:00

anytime we do the "A/B/C" construction the displayName should just be "NAME?"

## Seve — 2026-07-22T15:22:29.118000+00:00

and i do mean the all caps version 😁

## Seve — 2026-07-22T15:22:36.938000+00:00

it's a common-ish engineering thing

## astrimid — 2026-07-22T21:46:03.655000+00:00

FWIW, OrCAD generates names like "N000001" if net alias/name isn't assigned.

## Seve — 2026-07-22T21:46:34.878000+00:00

that is good to know

## astrimid — 2026-07-22T21:47:05.879000+00:00

It actually common thing in board view schematics

## astrimid — 2026-07-22T21:48:57.328000+00:00

but very uncommon in actual schematics. I mean PCB traces have those N* names, while schematics don't usually display those labels, as they rarely leave a single schematic page or section.

## astrimid — 2026-07-22T21:53:08.482000+00:00

To apply it here, I guess if you see them, they must be renamed to a human readable name. If you don't see them, it doesn't matter what name it's assigned as long it's not very long in PCB view.

Usually, if I see those autogenerated labels in tscircuit, it means I put them into different schematic sections, thus forcing them to display or I need to tweak max distance property or rotate the components or bring them closer.
