Differential line schematic - Net naming

Hi there,

First time doing a differential line in Kicad.
I know that before routing it, shall need to name it first. But I’m noticing that my named net list keeps changing.

For example, I named it “Debug+/-”
It pops out at “/Debug+/-” It’s the “/” that’s I am finding weird.

Is there any reason for it?

Hi,

the connection name also includes the sheet. It looks like you have only one sheet, so there is nothing in front of the net label. If you have multiple sheets, the name looks like /“sheet-name”/“net-name”.

On the root sheet, it’s just /“net-name”

kicad distinguishes local labels from global labels by adding the relative path of the sheet to the front of the local label is. for the root sheet this will just add a /. global labels are just the label name without any additions.
