schematic vs netlist vs layout checking(verifying)

Araugel

I have created a pcb design in orcad 17.2 the schematic is now converted to board using layout now I have to compare and cross check the nets of schematic vs netlist vs layout in orcad there is a method called inter tool communication but it highlights every net we click to schematic to corrosponding in layout it takes too much time to compare each net is there any faster method to compare both nets schematic vs layout in faster way?

    Export a netlist from the schematic and import it into the board file.

    ECO.txt will report any differences.

    Ditto that - that's my schematic/netlist to board check.

  • Araugel

    any idea on how to check for unconnected or hanging nets in schematic?

    In Orcad, run the design rules check in the Tools tab.

    Enable the design checks you want to perform, including the single-pin net check.

    On the board file, you can run the single-pin net report under tools/report.
