Re: How to assign VIA to a net name?

RaylonS

Guess I get to be the one to resurrect this question Apparently you have to be in General Edit mode to select a via without automatically starting a Cline from it, so I am in General Edit Mode

 I select the via, then go to the menus and select Edit > Change The only things in the Options panel that I can change are: Class, Subclass, Act via, Line Width, Text Block, and Text Just

There is no net option to select a net for the via to change to. I'm sure I'm missing something but I don't know what. I tried typing in the command line "editChangeNet -to AGND" (with and without quotes) and it returns an error "E- Command not found: editChangeNet -to AGND"

If I draw a track from a via with no net, it will assign itself to the net of the destination pin, but I'd like to be able to take a group of vias and either assign a net, or change the net that they're on in one step. Any clarification would be appreciated

    There's a bit of skill called change_via_net.il that will allow you to change the net of a via. An alternative is to get the Free App from http://www.orcadmarketplace.com/join/ProductDetails/tabid/93/ProductID/42/Default.aspx which will also do the same thing.
