Signal Name - Global Rename in Capture

Liana
Liana over 14 years ago

I have a schematic with a few hundred signal names that start with DataXXXX.  We need to change these to RXXXX.  Is there a way to change these globablly rather than editing them one by one?  They are offpage connector net names....

 

Thanks!

    What about replacing text in a text box?  I used a bunch of text boxes to label something in my design and I'd like to do a global replace to change them.  It would seem that the global replace command under the edit menu would provide this capability, however, it apparently doesn't work for text boxes because it never finds the string.  It's rather strange also because if you use the find command in the edit menu then it finds them all no problem.  Any ideas?  It seems like this would be a common need and something that should be easy.
