Problemsending data from schematic to PCB
开云体育I have drawn a schematic and corrected all the
errors. When I switch to PCB, the footprints appear but no
designations and other text for them. I cannot find any setting
that would make the designations visible or not. Please advise. --

Re: Power flag problem
开云体育You can place a PWR_FLAG symbol on the relevant net. You can find this in symbol folder called "Power". Usually, GND also needs one.-- Regards,

Re: Power flag problem
开云体育Thank you. My problem cam from opening the
power symbol list by clicking on the 'earth/ground' icon. The
list that opened did not show the PWR_FLG symbol, but later it
appeared. I suppose the list did not fully load. On 2024-05-18 13:19, Robert via

You need to connect a power flag symbol to each of the two wires. --

Re: DB15 connector symbol
开云体育Indeed. For some reason, they all got to be
called 'DB', perhaps because the 25-contact size shell was so
widely used. And before the high-density range was introduced,
the pin-count and shell-size were 1-to -1 matched. On 2024-05-17 21:28, Donald H Locker

Re: DB15 connector symbol
开云体育Ah! I found it. I didn't expect the unpopular
but correct DA prefix to be used. On 2024-05-17 14:46, John Woodgate

DB15 connector symbol
开云体育Is there anywhere a symbol for the DB15
15-contact connector? I know that I could make one, but its
geometry is not simple. --

Re: Import Spice schematic
开云体育Thanks very much, Andy. That icon is called
'Edit symbol fields' in version 8.0.2, which is a correct name
but misleading. It is in fact a BOM, formatted the way I
proposed in my bleat about the official one. On 2024-05-13 21:18, Andy Eskelson
