Renaming module port disconnects route?

vitomarolda70
vitomarolda70 over 9 years ago

Hello,

I would like to rename a module port in an already-routed board.

In any way I do that, the pcb track is deleted.

I have tried so far:

  • Using command NAME on the net in the module schematic:
    • the name changes in the module schematic
    • the name does not change in the port name in top schematic
    • the pcb route is deleted.
  • Using command INFO Ctrl-left click on the module port, in the TOP schematic.:
    • the name changes in the port name of all module instances, in top schematic
    • the name does not change in the module schematic.
    • the pcb route is deleted.
  • Using command INFO Ctrl-left click on the module port, in the MODULE schematic:
    • this does not delete the track
    • successfully renames the net in the module schematic
    • BUT it does not update the port name in the module ports of module instances in TOP schematic.

 

Someone can help?

Thank you in advance

    Unfortunately the name is key to the underlying structure. By renaming it the database would have to change. If you are not moving things, I believe you can export the design and carefully change the name in the file and re-import. But save a good copy just in case it fails.

    Thank you Clem,

    I've done manual file editing before (had load errors after some copy command, I think between top schematics and module, but I am not sure).

    I think I can do that.

     

    In order to have it fixed, should I submit a bug?

    Regards,
