How to assign net name to a shape while using Z-Copy function

PCBTech
PCBTech over 1 year ago

This new feature in the Z-Copy function lets you assign a net name to a shape when you are copying it.

1) Select Edit > Z-Copy from the menu and then select the Class/Subclass onto which you want to copy the shape.

2) Toggle on the Assign option and select the net as shown below, in the Options tab.

3) After selecting the net, click the cursor on the edge of the shape which you want to copy, and you will see the shape copied. As you can see in the following image, the shape from the TOP layer is copied to the INNER 1 layer with the 1V2 net.
