Manual or Automatic net/wire class net color

jlcms

Hello,

 

On circuitstudio website there is a sample of a schematic:

VCC and GND net/wire have both a special color and width.

Is there a way to have those attribute automatic?

  • The easyest way to do that is:

    Go to Home - Select - Connection than press F11 and modify as you wish. Tip: Save custom colors and add it to selection.

     

    To Altium: You are the the best at navigating designs, please make colors transfer from Schematics to PCB in CircuitStudio and make it pushbutton like F5 in Designer. Please add compiler navigation like in Designer.

    You are the best at it and let it shine in CircuitStudio. Do not take that as a negative critic, I love Designer and CircuitStudio.

    Hi Aleksander,

     

    Altium Designer 16 introduced a new feature to take the colors right through the design from Schematic to PCB, using the same colors, with F5 to show Net Color Override. CircuitStudio doesn't have this feature, and has the previous feature called Underline Connections in CircuitStudio, or Highlighting Pen in older Altium Designer versions. The feature isn't currently planned for updating in CircuitStudio.

     

    For others reading this thread: To display colors in PCB in CircuitStudio you need to edit the net of interest and enable the checkbox.

     

    Go to the PCB panel and choose Nets from the drop down. Click <All Nets> and located the net of interest. Double click on the net to change the Connection Color and close the dialog. If the checkbox for the net in the PCB panel is enabled, the PCB will display a checker box pattern of the net color and layer color, that varies visually, depending on the zoom level. When zoomed out it looks like a solid color with the net color. When zoomed in the net color blends with the layer color and zoom in more and both colors are shown with the pattern.

     

    I mention not to forget to uncheck the option, since many people have forgotten that they set the option and then can't get rid of the color for that net.
