Modify netgroup

FNON

When modifying (or copying) a net group block the output or "bus" port dissapears.

The only soloution I can find is to delete and redraw it. Is there a way to insert it again?

    Which version are you using? And, why are you using NetGroup blocks? You can use NetGroups "like buses" within the schematics and there is no requirement for using NetGroup blocks, never mind that the "clutter" the schematics.

    Hi

    Thanks for the reply. I think the problem occurs after changing the output port to biderectional.

    Yes, I have realized that the DRC don't care about the actual blocks, but I find it annoying.

    I am using 17.2-2016.

    You haven't said which "exact" version of 17.2 you are running. The current version is 17.2-2016.s063. Just to reiterate, you don't need to place NetGroup Blocks in the schematic, you can use the Bus Entry to connect a Wire (NetGroup member) to a NetGroup, just as you can with Bus connections.

    Sorry, it's S029.

    As I said, I know that I don't need them, but it is annoying that the ports disapear when copying the block, and that there is no way to reinsert them.

    Is it a bug perhaps?
