The pin number (and name?) auto-increment, and the pin place form always offers to use the number after the last one placed. When you do "Place Pin", hit "Tab" to get the pin information form, and change the name and number as required. > > Why is the net of the power ports I place on a schematic the same net name > of the very first power port I ever placed in protel, ever? Again, while placing a power port, hit "Tab" to get the info form, and change the name (and port type, if desired), and that name and port type will become the new default. > > Why is it that when I place a text string in PCB I get the text that I was > using in a completely different .ddB?

If you change the pin number _while_ placing a pin, you will get a new default value next time you go to place a pin - this is frequently useful, as when placing a series of pins with sequential numbers. ************************************************************************ * Tracking #: 8607BD69FA99524F9ECEA502C6B7CBD5D31A4356 * ************************************************************************ -- Peter Bennett TRIUMF 4004 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver, BC, Canada GPS and NMEA info and programs: http://vancouver-webpages.com/peter/index.html * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
