Problem with Using Pin Tool

Jinhyung
Jinhyung over 2 years ago

I'm using 'Pin Tool' si usefully, but I found the critical error with this tool.

The case was this.

I had the net named 'EN<1>', so I put the label 'EN<1>' on it.

After that, I clicked 'Pin Tool' -> 'Create' -> 'Create Pin From Label' and made pin succesfully.

However, when I clicked the pin and saw the properites, the 'Pin Name' and the 'Terminal Name' changed 'EN[1]' automatically.(The bracket changed.)

Every pin name with '<>' changed to '[]' after creating pin.

This error seems not critical, but when I use connectivity, it didn't work because of that error.

Is there any solution with this error?

Thanks for your time.

Best regards.

    I figured this out.

    When you use "Auto Label", the option "Create As Label" is not checked. If user doesn't turn on this option, then the error that I wrote here happens.

    However, if user turns off that option, then upper error doesn't happen.

    Thanks for your time.

    Best regards.
