You have opened a project.
- You have selected a net definition point in the graphical editor. Edit > Properties. In the Properties <...> dialog, select the Net definition tab.
- Insert > Net definition point. In the Properties <...> dialog, select the Net definition tab.
In this tab you define the properties of a net definition point. The properties are assigned to all the connections in the net. The net has a higher priority than the signal or the potential. This means that the properties stored in a net definition point take precedence over the properties stored in a potential definition point. Properties that are stored directly in the connection are not overwritten.
Overview of the main dialog elements:
Name of potential:
Signal name:
Enter the name for the potential / signal here. Click [...] in order to open the Select potential / signal dialog. The potential names and the associated signal names existing in the project are presented here for selection.
Note:
No potentials and signals can be defined at net definition points. The potentials and signals must be defined via a potential definition point or a potential connection point in the project.
Enter the name of the net that was defined via the net definition point. Remember that the net name must be unique within a project.
Cross-section / diameter:
Cross-section / diameter unit:
The connection cross-section or diameter is adopted from the parts management and can be used as filter criteria when selecting devices. Click [...] to open the Cross-sections / diameters dialog and select a cross-section / diameter (with the associated unit) from the list.
If you selected a predefined cross-section / diameter from the Cross-section / Diameter field, the associated unit is automatically transferred to the Cross-section / diameter unit field. Use the drop-down list to select another unit. An overview of the possible units can be found in the section "Connections: Units for Lengths and Cross-sections".
Here you enter the color or number of the connection; this property identifies the connection. Click [...] to launch the Connection colors dialog and select a color from the list.
