Select Multiple Nets and Show Name

#1 Post by craigfoo » 07 Jul 2020, 21:19

Is it possible to select more than one net and display the name? Right now, I right click a single net and select "Display Name." Let's imagine I have 20 nets that I want to show the name. I'd like to select all of them, right click once, and select "Display Name." Possible?

No, this is not possible to display name of several nets at once.

Can this feature be added in a future update? This would be extremely useful.
I like to display wire names however I can have up to 100+ nets in my project. Right clicking each wire just to display the net name is a high inefficient and p.i.t.a.
Thanks Devs!

I really prefer that you display net names on the nets directly like in Altium/Kicad. It makes it easier to recognize them visually without having to wait for the tooltip to appear and without having to select any of them.

Hello Support,

I would like to request a feature update…

Please develop a process to make update and display net names easier in the schematic editor module.
I often have hundreds of nets. Each net is displayed on our schematics for troubleshooting purposes. Now, to display a net name, each net must be selected individually and “Display Name” selected. This is HIGHLY INEFFICENT and an enormous time drain. Please make a feature to do a large net selection and multiple “display name” command.

Additionally, please include another feature that will allow users to rename a net when connected to a net port. If multiple net ports are selected then please include a command to “push” the net multiple net ports to push their names to the nets they are connected to.

These features would be extremely helpful, time saving and make using your platform more enjoyable.

Thank you!
