Some Questions for schematic

Can I use different colors for nets? They are always green, but want different colors.

Colours are determined by the layer they are on so you can't have different colours unfortunately.

Can I set, that the name of the net will be automatic displayed? Right now I have to set manuel a label

Manually adding labels is the only way to do it I'm afraid.

The prefix of the nets are "N$" ... can I set somewhere this? I want based on the net class each an own prefix

Nets start N$ and busses start B$, I don't think it's possible to set a prefix based on net class.

Can I update the net name via ULP?

This one you can do! You need to build up a NAME command within the ULP which uses the form:

NAME newName (x y);

where x and y are the position values given for a wire segment of the net you wish to name.

An example would be:

string cmd="SET CONFIRM YES; ";

if (schematic) {
   schematic(S) {
      S.sheets(SH) {
         SH.nets(N) {
            string tmp;
            if (N.name == argv[1]) {
               N.segments(SEG) {
                  SEG.wires(W) {
                     sprintf(tmp, "NAME %s (%f %f);", argv[2],u2inch(W.x1),u2inch(W.y1));
                     cmd += tmp;
                  }
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

cmd += "SET CONFIRM OFF;";

exit(cmd);
