Why can't I add this pin or pad to this net?

jaza_tom
jaza_tom over 6 years ago

I have a component:  an ATmega328PB microcontroller.  It has 32 pins, plus a back pad (33rd pin).  My footprint has 33 pads (extra pad for back pad (thermal)).  My schematic symbol also has 33 pins, mapped to the corresponding pads (1 thru 33).

 

For some reason, if I connect pin 33 to a net in the schematic, that connection does not get translated to the PCB.  If I select the pad in the PCB editor and open it's properties dialogue, I can manually assign a net to that pad, which is a workaround I suppose.  If I subsequently connect a different net to this pad, the same behaviour persists (i.e. if I manually set that pad to be connected to GND and then in the schematic I connect +5V to pin 33, if I go to import that change into the PCB file, CircuitStudio says that there are no changes to import.  image

 

See video to see what I mean (below).

 

e14softwareuk  -->  what could be the cause of such strange behaviour?

    If you can't share your design files, could you create a minimal CS Project with this part and issue for us to have a poke at?

    Hi Tom. Thanks for the video - a little fuzzy but looks like you are doing the right thing. It would help if you could send through the design or create a sample design with just the one component and some power/ground that exhibits this same issue.
