Mystery properties

RogerM
RogerM over 9 years ago

Hi All,

      I have a schematic that has extra properties that I did not add:

CONNWIDTH    8.000
HIGHLIGHT    NO
MAXWIDTH    8.000
MINWIDTH    8.000
NETGROUP    0
NETWEIGHT    50
PLANELAYERS    
RECONNTYPE    STD
ROUTELAYERS    
SPACINGBYLAYER    
TESTPOINT    NO

I did not add these properties and I think they are interfering with the properties that I do use:

MAX_TRACK_WIDTH    30
MIN_TRACK_WIDTH    30
REC_TRACK_WIDTH    30

I am using powernet to create a net list.  If I examine the netlist that is created the properties that I do want are not there for many of the nets.  For the nets that do not have these extra properties seem to be OK. I am using powernet V2.0b07 and Orcad version 16.6 s055

Thanks in advance.

Roger

    These used to be part of the OrCAD Layout properties, you could "safely" remove these properties if you no longer need them. Select the DSN file entry in the Project Manager Window in OrCAD Capture and use Edit>Object Properties, use the Schematic Nets and / or Flat Nets tabs to remove the properties since they may have been assigned in the schematic, or from Back Annotation.
