Customise net labels with XREF on

zainka
zainka over 13 years ago

Hi

 

Normally I have used only the textbased net labels on line that goes

from one sheet to another. My wish is to use the XREF option but I am

not comfortable with the format options

 

My "big" problem is that the signal name for a given net label comes

inside the flag. I would prefer all symbols to be of equal size and to

have the text align on beside of the net flag instead.

 

not like this               but like this

   ______________________          _____

-/NET_LABEL_SIGNAL_NAME |       /     | NETLABEL_SIGNAL_NAME

  \______________________|        \_____|

 

If not existing as an option already I would recommend to make the order

of the label xref formatting tags relevant (as set in misc menu) to the

result. Se my examples below:

 

                  ________________

%F%N (%S)      / NETLABEL (1)  |

                 \________________|

 

                  _____

%N %F(%S)      / (1) | NETLABEL

                 \_____|

                  _____

%N (%S)%F      /     | NETLABEL (1)

                 \_____|

 

Here everything coming in front of the %F tag ends up outside the flag

and everything after %F ends up inside. The flag symbol would thus have

a minimum size like say 3 letters.

 

Second. Is it possible to have flags indicating direction of a net? I.e.

if signal is in, out or bidirectional. This should be possible to change

with a change command like for example CHANGE DIRECTION or CHANGE FLAG

if not existing as an option already somewhere.

 

input             bi              output

   _______          ______         ______

_/       |       /      \       |      \

  \_______|        \______/       |______/

 

 

I will add these my suggestions to the suggest forum if this is not

possible to achieve pr. today.
