![]() ![]() What this means is that you can create sheet symbols that represent your sheet, and connect them together via ports. Ports allows connectors to be made vertically. It's almost like an extension of the same sheet. What this means is if you have a large design that can't fit into one page cleanly, you can use off sheet connectors to "continue" your signals to another sheet (but on the same level). Nets tend to be local to a schematic (unless you are using a power net - which MAY be global).Īn offsheet connector allows connections to be made horizontally. It's as if there is a wire that ties them together. If you have a signal on one side of your schematic with a net name of "SIG_A" and you have another net name of "SIG_A" on the other side. If they don't come back into sync, it actually nicely tells you that you missed a segment of the net when you were replacing symbols, and you can tell from the error which segment you missed (if any) and can then go correct it.Ī net is a connection name. Simply rename the net in the board file (it will rename the whole net), and this should bring the boards correctly back in sync. Open the board back up - there will be forward/backward annotation errors now. If you already have the board routed, you may want to close the board file, replace all segments with the new symbol (to prevent wires being disconnected in the board), then save. You will have to replace the existing symbol on all segments of the net - e.g. You can then save the library and insert your new supply symbol. You don't need a package, just the symbol. Then create a device in the library with the name of your symbol (e.g. The image below shows two key settings for the pin in that symbol - these settings govern the name of the net when the supply pin is connected. In the library, draw out your symbol (or copy and paste from an existing one). (or any other) library and create a new supply symbol. Why? because when you copy the supply symbol and place it on a new net segment, that segment will take the original name rather than the new one. In the case which you net is named using a symbol from the Type pin on it, such as the GND symbols, VCC, V+ etc. This is fine for nets which you have named, i.e. If the net spans multiple sheets, that second option will instead read , otherwise to rename the entire net, select ![]() If you want to rename just one section/segment, select Notice how there is a pair of radio buttons. ![]()
