Hello. I am currently using Ki-Kad Version 9.0 for Mac oS. And I am stumbling on a problem. Everytime i try to asign a net-class to some of the nets, my net list is not showing up.
I go to
File > Board Setup > Net Classes
And no nets are seen.
How ever, if I place a route and click on it i am able to see the net it belongs to.
How can I manage to see the nets on the board setup?
(I will attach pictures to this post for refrence).
The normal workflow is to assign netclasses on the schematic.
- define your different netclasses in schematic–>schematic setup–>netclasses
- after defining the netclasses assign some nets to a netclass. There are multiple ways to do this (see manual), but as starting point place a netclass directive label (right icon toolbar) onto a net
- select the net and look in the statusbar → the new assigned netclass for this net should be displayed there
- save
- switch to pcb editor, run “update pcb from schematic”. This transfers the netclass definitions from schematic to the pcb
- In the dialog board setup–>netclasses you may now write the clearance/width settings for the previous defined netclasses

The netclass setup panel does not show all nets. If you add a new Pattern Assignment, the blank area on the right will show the names of any nets which match the currently selected / edited pattern.
