NET


Function
Draws nets on a schematic.

Syntax
NET • •..
NET net_name • •..

See also BUS, NAME, SET

The net command is used to draw individual connections (nets) onto the Net layer of a schematic drawing. The first mouse click marks the starting point for the net, the second marks the end point of a segment. Two mouse points on the same point complete the net.

Select Bus Signal

If a net is started on a bus, a popup menu opens from which one of the bus signals can be selected. The net then is named correspondingly and becomes part of the same signal. If the bus includes several part buses, a further popup menu opens from which the relevant part bus can be selected.

Net Names

If the NET command is used with a net name (maximum eight characters) then the net is named accordingly.

If no net name is included in the command line and the net is not started on a bus, then a name in the form of N$1 is automatically allocated to the net.

Nets or net segments that run over different sheets of a schematic and use the same net name are connected.

Line Width

The width of the line drawn by the net command may be changed with the command:

SET NET_WIRE_WIDTH width;
(Default: 6 mil).
