hello everyone I encountered a problem with Kicad.
when I wiring my PCBin the eschema I add net labels to the schema, from what I know when I created a net label I should see the net labels in the net classes inside the schematic setup automatically.
but i don’t see any net label.
when I update the schema to PCB new (because I noticed this problem), I see the net labels in the appearance<nets and then I don’t see the net classes that I created in the eschema, So I created the same the classes in the in the board setup<Design Rules<Net Classes and I belong any net label to his net class.
When I routed my track in the PCB new all the nets was in the default net class and not in the net class that I defined them and of course I can do that manually but It’s not convenient and if I forget some net it can hurt my signal integrity of my power menagment.
And of course I didn’t see any label at my setup<Design Rules<Net Classes.
I also want to explain that I downloaded KiCad version 9 when version number 8 was already downloaded in my computer, so uninstall KiCad 8 and then uninstall KiCad 9 and reinstall KiCad 9 again.
My operational system in my computer is Windows.
If someone knows this problem and can explain me how to fix it(maybe wrong config in the preferences or some mistake in the configure paths and etc.) it will be nice.
Thanks for every onק

No, this nowledge is outdated.
With v9 the netclass dialog doesn’t shows all nets, but only the assigned nets + net patterns.
Read the netclass section in the schematic editor manual: Schematic Editor | 9.0 | English | Documentation | KiCad.
The easiest 2 options (as starting point) to assign a netclass to a net:
- place netclass directive label (from right toolbar) onto a net
- or select a net–>RMB-click–>get context menu -->Assign netclass
If you execute the “Upfdate pcb from schematic” command all netclasses and the netclass assignments should be transferred to the board editor.
Thank you very much for your help
