importing gerber data

masamasa

hello:

 

after importing gerber file into a design file, how can i assign a net into the imported shapes and clines?

 

there is no net assigned to a shape after the gerber file import although the vias connected to the shape have a net.

 

i have over 10k shapes and clines on my design.

 

regards

masa

    Have you tried moving the shape (ix 0)? It seems like the shape should inherit a net of a via after you pick it and drop it back down.
