Hi! Since DxDesigner uses the iCDB there are no .wir files anymore. :-( Also, packaging and restarting DxDesigner didn't change anything. Ditto for opening the...
Hi Volker, You will probably need to rename each bit of the bus as well. Please file a service request on SupportNet, so we can enhance the automation to be...

Hi Les, I haven't been able to get this to work, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work... I think the problem is, they are not single pin nets any more when ...
For PowerPCB, we use "NOT_CONNECTED" for the same effect since it's the default for that program. You can also bring that net into PowerPCB if you wish for...
Correct, the net should not be named NC.? The net should have an attribute named NC.??The NC?attribute does not require a value, simply the attribute should be...
Hi, Does anyone have a symbol that can just be put on those pins that adds that NC attribute. Regards, Austin ... From: DxDesigner_Users@yahoogroups.com ...
A script can be easily written to select a symbol and place the stubs as required on any NC Pins. Thanks, Vern Wnek Manager, PCB Layout, ENG BU / Central...
Hi Vern, I'm talking about a symbol that I can place on the schematic that attaches to another symbols pins that I want to add the NC attribute to. Regards. ...
Not sure this can be done, as it has to be a Net Stub, not a part. Thanks, Vern Wnek Manager, PCB Layout, ENG BU / Central Library Office: 949-926-6418 x66418 ...
Hi Vern, Understood. That's why I asked if anyone had a way to do this. It may be able to be done with a part that is marked as an annotation. This is one ...
I have a couple of symbols (a netstub and a NCstub) that I use this way (as annotation type symbol) and it works fine (I'm using DxDesigner-Expedition flow -...
We use nc.1, nc.2, nc.3, and nc.4 custom symbols (in our "DRAFTING" library). They have one pin and the extra attribute CLASS= LAB, since once that you add...

Hi! Does anyone know how to change the pin no. font size from 9 to 12 for all the pins in the symbol at one short? and also pin signal name ( pin name ) font...
You could try something like this: Set OutputLogControl = application.Addins("Output Log Window").Control Set ERRORTab = OutputLogControl.AddTab("Errors") ...
I am so confused as to why one would do so much work to have to attach things to unused pins. I just ignore the unused pins cause if I needed a net on them I...
Hi Les, The reason I want the intentionally unused pins to not generate warnings is so I can find the ones that I didn't want to leave intentionally ...
Hi Austin Guess each to their own style. If I worked for you I would do it your way and if you worked for me it would have to be my way. What works works. On...
This works! Thanks a lot! I also have been wanting to have some code to do the cleaning of the output log window. Question: where did you get the documentation...
Les, what you are talking about below, possibly forgetting to connect something to unused pins, is the main reason why adding the NC stub is nearly the last...
