Have you tried  Design->Netlist_Manager  then , pressing the MENU button in the 
lower left corner of the dialog there is a menu
item "Update free primitives from component pads"

This should propagate the net names on the pads to the connected "primitive" 
segments.

I had to ask this question some time ago (and is why/how I came to subscribe to 
the PEDA forum. (Thank you Techserv!)


Cheers
Harry

Subject: [PEDA] importing schematic and pcb files from Protel Autotrax 
toProtel99se

Hello,

I have some schematics and pcb files that were generated with a very old protel 
and I want to import them to Protel99se.

-    schematics were created with Protel Schematic - Design Program v3.31
-    PCB's were created with Protel Autotrax - PCB Layout Program v1.61 ND

These are DOS programs with copyrights around 1990.

I have imported the files into Protel99se and everything is fine except for the 
Net connections.
After updating the PCB, all the traces and vias still show "No Net".
However, all the device pins (ie: the source of the Nets) show the proper Net.
I have been unable to get the traces and vias to accept any Nets.

Does anyone know how to do this?
(other than manually inputting the Net into each trace and via one at a time)

regards,
Kurtis
