Random numbers after net name

yoro0

Hi, I am relatively new to ORCAD and I have a schematic which is on multiple pages and I have multiple nets that are having a random number assigned to them on different pages. For example, I have VDD_MUX on one page and then on the next page the net that connects to the VDD_MUX symbol has net name VDD_MUX_85685. 

No matter how many times I try to remove that number at the end, it always comes back. 

Can somebody please advise? 

Thanks

    Assuming a schematic project, Nets are not connected between pages without an Off-Page Connector. If you have multiple Nets of the same name on different Pages and no Off-Page Connectors, OrCAD Capture will force the Net Name to be unique by adding an identifier to the Net Name. (Place>Off-Page Connector...)

    As oldmouldy says -- since you did not identify to Orcad that you wanted these to be connected (off-page symbol) or global (global symbol) Orcad makes them unique.  You might look into using the Global symbol for something like a power net.

    Thanks redwire. I will check on the global symbols.
