Pad/Layer/Net/Component Classes in CircuitStudio

bakermattj
bakermattj over 9 years ago

In the Design Rule Wizard, Advanced Rule Scope, there are drop down options to match a Pad/Layer/Net/Component class.  That seems really useful, but I could not figure out how to create or assign any of these classes in the Schematic or Layout editor.  Is it possible or is that just an AD feature remnant?

 

For my use case, I ended up matching some nets directly by name, but it would have been more useful to assign a single net class, or to be able to apply the rule only inside of a small polygon area.  I tried using "Belongs to Polygon" but this seems to be, for example, bits of metal that are part of polygon, not any net inside of the polygon.

    I made a short video explaining how you can use them. Hopefully this helps. https://youtu.be/b4ld1NwqOdk

    I have suddenly find somewhere in the net that Altium actually add net classes functionality into free circuit maker, but they don't add it into 1k$ commercial Circuit studio.. This is confusing for me…

    Neat trick.  I'll try this on the next design revision.  Should be perfect for how I wanted to use it -- to allow tighter routing tolerances on only a couple of nets.
