Tab Net definition

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.

Net name:

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".

Color / number:

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.
