Some Questions for schematic

fohnbit

Hello,

 

I have some basic questions for schematic drawing:

  1. Can I use different colors for nets? They are always green, but want different colors.
  2. Can I set, that the name of the net will be automatic displayed? Right now I have to set manuel a label
  3. The prefix of the nets are "N$" ... can I set somewhere this? I want based on the net class each an own prefix
  4. Can I update the net name via ULP?

 

Thank you!

    There are many user created ULPs here

    http://eagle.autodesk.com/eagle/ulp

     

    Here's the link to one I created that should be just what you need.

    On first usage just run it. it will create a context menu item for net

    wires. After that just right click on the net wire and select "Rename

    Net" from the context menu.

     

    You can then type in the desired net name. The ULP already knows which

    net wire you are referring to and where it is. "But wait, there's more."

     

    If the pins that the net is attached to have their pin names visible,

    then those names can be selected from a drop down list so there's no

    typing needed.

     

    Going from another posting of yours, your part is AV equipment and the

    pins are connectors for cables. For an HDMI cable the pin would be named

    HDMI and if you have set 'display pin names' in the symbol in the

    library you will see HDMI displayed at the schematic pin and listed in

    the ULP. You simply select HDMI in the ULP for the net (cable) name.

     

    The text, like the selected HDMI, is copied into the text entry field

    where it can be modified further, if desired, prior to naming the net.

     

    A handy by-product for you is, if by mistake, you have connected your

    HDMI cable between a HDMI pin and a RS232 pin you be alerted to this by

    the two conflicting choices in the drop down list.

     

     

    Enjoy
