Pin/Net renaming

#1 Post by Alex_F » 09 Dec 2019, 01:51

I have some pins connected to same net, for example "MyNet1".
These pins not connected by wires on schenmatic, only have same net name.
Now I want to change net name for one pin only (disconnect from old net name "MyNet1" and connect to new net "MyNewNet").
If I change net name for one pin via popup menu, a net name changed for all pins connected to this net.
Now to change net name for one pin only?

Check box "Rename Related Pins only" have no any effect in this case.

1) Right-click on the desired pin and choose "Delete from Net" in the pop-up menu.
2) Right-click on the same pin again and choose "Add to Net..." in the pop-up menu to bring up the Net dialog window.
3) In the Net dialog window choose a different net for the pin using the Select Net: drop-list, or create a new net for the pin by clicking on the [+] button.

Tomg has it correct as from what I have seen in a few hours of playing with 4.2.0.1.

What is needed is another entry in the context menu called "Reassign Net" or "Change to Net" or "Edit Net Assignment"
that would just change the net assignment for that component pin to an existing net from the pull down or new one using + button.
