On the schematic have a Netclass Flag on a wire. In the PCB Editor I update the board from the schematic and find in the Board Setup the netclass assigned by the flag in the schematic did not transfer to the PCB. I had to manually assign this netclass.
Should the netclass assigned in the schematic have been transferred to the PCB? If so what could be blocking this?
The netclass did transfer earlier. It failed to after I appended a pcb board. I did this append so traces I had put around the edges of the board would not covered by the solder mask. To do this uncover I copied my original PCB board to a temporary file. In that temporary file I deleted all footprints, and traces, except the traces I wanted not to be covered by the solder mask. From this temporary board I created gerbers. I loaded these into the Gerber Viewer, and from there exported the traces to the solder mask layers of a new secnod temporary board. I then opened the original board in a stand alone instance of the PCB editor, and appended the second temporary board. This worked. The traces are uncovered, but now Netclass Flags in the schematic are not reflected in the PCB board.
I am removing the solder mask from the traces I placed around the edges of the board because it is a static discharge protection ring. According to this article, this ring should not have solder mask on it:
