Ian wrote The Inspector is a bit touchy at times, or it seems like it. Yea thats basically the quirk. If the inpector come up with right selection, then the classes can be shown in two clicks. But since it rarely does for net classes, (it works for other objects)it takes 8 steps Here are the steps I am using:
With the inpector locked into my pcb panel, and a net class already defined Click one on the net class Click two on the first net in the class Hold the shift key down click three scroll down if required to the last net of the same class Click four on the last net of the class with the shift key down click five left click properties key escape this sets the inpector count as one click click seven on HIDE click eight again somewhere to execute the change Thats the best I can do. I am I doing somthing wrong in with the inspector? 99SE Panel is up, net class created your count was one extra, disable the global confirmation in Options Display. This gets the keystroke/click to 5 not 4 as previously stated by me. 5 or 8 isnt that big of a deal I guess, since I dont use this command on regular basis. But I did use it a ot today and found something else that could be improved on. I set up net classes for routing, my first task was to name my class NET CLASS PDU. it includes nets PDU 0 -PDU 7. Now I want to name add more rules to this net class. I assign net class PDU to only layer 1. I can not use the same name PDU for my layer definition rule. I have to call it PDU1, if I want to add more rules to I have to call the subsequent one with a different name again. Rule name PDU can not be used twice even of the rules are in different categories. That is only part of it, I assigned class PDU to layer 1. Yet PROTEL will allow me to route this trace on any layer with out any error checking either batch or online. The design contraints only work for the router output but not for the program. I am missing layer checking rules Mike Reagan EDSI * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
