adding items to hidden nets.

New to circuit studio, I finished a schematic and want to make my PCB and when I compile I get a few warnings. First on that list is adding items to hidden nets. I had to add a -15v net, is there more then just coping a net and renaming it? I can not find a specific place to define power nets. I just copied the +5 net and renamed it to -15, was that wrong?

I also have a lot of "has no driving source" warnings These are where pins go to pads I mad. Is there a way to tell my pad its s driving source or do I just ignore these errors?

    It does say on a pop-up that the documentation is outdated. It looks like the way to get to their support forum is https://live.altium.com/signin which gives the option to join: https://live.altium.com…

    Hi,

    Have you seen this message, from an Altium employee:

     Announcement: CircuitStudio will no longer be sold by Farnell. It is available direct from Altium. 

    According to that blog, it is possible to ask on the Altium forum. Altium staff are rather silent on this site (despite being members, they don't tend to reply often, leaving others to pick up the ball).

    Hi, thx! Unfortunately its a gimmick or a broken system. The join pages leads you to a page that tells you to join. So you end up going in circles. Looks like at one point there may have been a registration page but now its just a circular link trap.

    yeah I think what I need is the register. I do not have one yet and yes those pages I mentioned seem to imply you can but neither allow a registration.

    I experienced a login loop, I try to login but it shows me the forums, and then dumps me back at the login page. It may be they have it tied to known email addresses that have a valid license? I'm guessing though.

    yeah IDK, but I really appreciate your candor. Let me see if my main e.e here has a login but I doubt it.
