Hello. Is there a way to hide / unhide in one shot all the net labels? No cancel, just show / unshow.
Thanks.
Cris.
Hello. Is there a way to hide / unhide in one shot all the net labels? No cancel, just show / unshow.
I think no.
But that wouldn’t fix the real problem which seems to be a schematic overcrowded with meaningless net names which look auto-generated.
Right. I can cancel one by one, but I do not know why the net names apperaed afret an “update schematic from PCB”.
That explains it. The function updates net names. KiCad autogenerates implicit names in the schematic if the user doesn’t give names. They are pushed to PCB. But the PCB editor side pushes them back as explicit names with “update schematic” function.
I don’t know if this is a bug. My opinion is that automatic names shouldn’t become explicit. But at least updating schematic net names is optional in the dialog.
You can use **Schematic Editor / Edit / Edit Text & Graphics Properties:
Maybe it even works if you add " Net-( " into the Filter fields by name field to only hide the auto generated names, but I have not tested this.
Indeed, and the option is off by default:
Maybe splitting this into two checkboxes (one for automatically generated net names, and one for manual net name labels is a good idea.
