Hi, ( I’m new here, I’m new in Kicad, I’ve been wanting to do it for years, but I’ve finally started )
I have a little question, I’m following a tutorial and I want to modify netclasses.
Here what I see on this tutorial :
and here what I have on my Kicad screen…
I’d like to assign different track widths according to their use, but I can’t manage it.
Does anyone know where I’m going wrong?
Thank you in advance.
Manu
Well, congratulations with your new start in a wonderful program.
I don’t know if you are doing anything wrong, but you do have the right screen in KiCad. In older KiCad versions you could use the filter, and then assign net classes by pointing and dragging with the mouse. In the newest KiCad versions, you make a list of the filter / “pattern” strings, and they are directly assigned to net classes. These patterns can also include wildcards such as “?” and “*”. You can read more about this new method in KiCad’s own manual: https://docs.kicad.org/8.0/en/pcbnew/pcbnew.html#board-setup-net-classes
Your tutorial is for an older version of Kicad. With the new version instead of assigning nets manually, you can add a filter like PWR_* to select all nets that start with PWR_. You can alternatively also place net class directives directly on the schematic.

Thank you both very much,
thanks to your explanations I’ve understood how to do it !!
