How to automatically place an off-page connector name from a net alias?

FB202502193638 5 months ago

Hi,

I captured a schematic and assigned a 'net alias' to every net. However, I now realize that I need to connect these nets to anothers pages. So, I added an 'off-page connector,' but it does not automatically take the value of the 'net alias.'

I tried copying and pasting the spreadsheet, it does not work and rewrite each off-page connector is time-consuming for 20 schematic pages.

What is the correct procedure to automatically rename an off-page connector with the same net alias value?

Allegro X 23.1 Capture CIS

Thanks for your help,

-Fabrizio

There is a free app that can be installed called CoolEditBox that has many utilities that help with this type of thing. Check out Download the EDAisWare CoolEditBox App - OrCAD Software Apps and Extensions | EMA Store

Hi,

Here is my personal experience with CoolEditBox.

CoolEditBox is old (2016) and unsupported by EDA.

CoolEditBox is not compatible with Orcad 22.1, 23.1 or 24.1.

TCL source code is encrypted, we cannot fix the bug.
