Just to make it explicit, there are only two ways designed into Protel 99SE (and, I think, later versions as well) to assign nets to primitives. One is directly, through edits, individual or global or similar. This, obviously, will not be satisfactory. The other is Update Free Primitives from Component Pads, as described by Mr. McGrath. This command essentially clears out all Free Primitive nets (as I recall) and then analyzes the pcb for connectivity, assigning nets as it goes, until all nets have either been assigned or have been found to be in conflict. The component pads can get their nets, again, in two ways: by individual edits or by load from schematic. The latter is highly recommended, ordinarily component pad nets should be left alone and all such changes made in the schematic. That way the net assignments won't disappear next time a netlist is loaded from the schematic. ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
