as far as I know when you use nets and ports global it will connect up via net names in preference to using the port symbol. I think (but haven't checked) that if you have un-named nets connected via a global port then it will use the port to ensure the connectivity. If you have nets global

Hi, did anyone notice the following bug in 99SE? I'm referring to SP6. When you draw a PCB outline from the scratch and then call the update PCB function in the corresponding schematic, in order to import your parts and nets into the PCB file, the synchronizer places the parts on the right side

thanks also this is great stuff i have generally stuck with global global just to avoid struggling with figuring out these details now if someone :) were to summarize this in a more tabular or grouped manner it would be really nice Dennis Saputelli Abd ul-Rahman Lomax wrote: At 12:56 PM

Here's our current documentation for this. Please let me know if it's unclear on any of the points that have been discussed. http://www.protel.com/resources/learningguides/articles/connectivityandm ultisheetdesign.pdf It applies to 99SE as well as DXP--except for off-sheet connectors, which we
