Trouble with Net Classes and the Schematic Editor

Question

I am trying to learn Circuit Studio and having some trouble using Net Classes. I created a net class and assigned a few nets to it, which works fine. However, when I try to update the schematic with changes from the PCB, it tries to remove the net class that I just assigned. What am I missing? How can I propagate the net classes back to the schematic so it doesn't try to delete them every time?

The net classes should be added on the schematic using a net class directive.

Once placed on a net you should edit the properties to give it a name.

You then update the PCB from the schematic document using Home | Project > Update PCB Document. Although net classes can be defined in the PCB editor they cannot be exported back to the schematic.

Hi Ryan, I've mentioned your idea for a documentation update to Altium.

Thanks for the feedback. I have added a section to the documentation to explain Net Class Directives and the ECO generation options.
