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.
