Version: 5.2.0.1
What am I doing:
1) created a schematic file with a colored GND global net
2) converted it to a PCB
3) in the schematic removed pin from GND and placed a resistor between it and GND
4) updated layout from schematic
Results:
Color has not changed from the original GND color and I have to specify it again for each pin.
And also if i change color of wire in the schematic, "update layout from schematic" did not changing color of the net in PCB file
Net color problem
Re: Net color problem
There is a conflict between schematic and board settings. A long time ago, the following logic was chosen:
If a custom net color is set on the board, it always remains unchanged regardless of what comes from the schematic.
However, if it’s a layer color, the color from the schematic is used. Also, when a net is split during the schematic-to-board update,
both resulting nets inherit the properties of the original one when saving the board settings.
This is where all the described behavior comes from.

Re: Net color problem
Can you add adjustable settings? I want to always import net color from schematic.
One checkbox in the settings will be helpful
thanks!

Re: Net color problem
Yes, such an option could be universal and meet the requirements in most cases. I’ll add it to the list for the developer’s consideration.
