NAME command in ULP

rachaelp

Hello,

 

I've using NAME within a ULP to automatically rename some busses/wires. It

works great when there is just one occurrence of a wire on a sheet but as

soon as there is a second I get a pop-up asking if I want to change just

the selected segment or all segments in the sheet. Looking at the docs I

can't see a way to make this happen automatically without prompting, does

anybody else know of a way to stop this prompt showing up?

 

If not then maybe the command needs an enhancement to allow the following

optional parameter for naming busses/wires:

 

NAME new_name (x y) T

 

where T = This segment, E = Every segment on sheet and A = All segments on

all sheets

 

Best Regards,

 

Rachael

    However..... I just installed 7.6.0 and something has changed and what

    used to work perfectly now erroneously puts net names all over my busses

    in some cases..... I'll tidy up my script and generate a simple test

    schematic and pop it over to CadSoft as I think this must be a newly

    introduced bug.

     

     

    Okay just a quick update, so it wasn't 7.6.0 that changed things, i found

    that with my ULP script when I had busses / nets across multiple pages,

    once I do:

     

    set Cmd.Name.RenameEntireNetByDefault 1

     

    then randomly things go a bit bonkers.... My ULP script is looping through

    lots of objects and hierarchy to build up the final command which changes a

    bunch of names so it must be some conflict with this setting and what I am

    trying to achieve screwing everything up.... I need to investigate

    further....
