Editing Net Attributes and Properties

You can create and edit the attributes and properties on existing nets using the Property Editor assistant.

To edit net attributes:

1. In the Navigator assistant, select the net whose properties you want to edit.
2. From the layout window menu bar, choose Windows – Assistants – Property Editor.
   The Property Editor assistant is displayed.
   
   
3. To change the signal type for a net:
   1. Click in the value column next to the Signal Type label to reveal a drop-down list of all the available signal types.
   2. Choose the signal type you want from the list.
4. To change the net assignment for a selected object, click in the Net Name field and type in the new net name for the object.
   When the selected object is a route element (i.e., a via or a pathSeg) the Net Name field is relabeled Route Net Name. This indicates that changing the net name for that object also changes the net name for the entire route.
5. To delete a net assignment, remove the name of the net from the Net Name field.
6. To add a new property for a selected net;
   1. Click the right mouse button in the Property Editor assistant and choose Add property to.
      The Add Property dialog is displayed.
      
      
   2. Define the new property and click OK or Apply to add it to the net.
      The Property Editor is updated to show the property you just added.
