Hierarchical pin net name


 

Searched around for an answer to this, but not have any luck.

I am generating a schematic with hierarchical sheets, and I have a sheet where to keep the schematic "clean" looking I want to use net labels for signals that come into the sheet via hierarchical pins. So do I need to use a net label to name the nets, or are they already named the same as the hierarchical pin.

So basically, say I have a hierarchical pin called SIGNAL. Is that the net name SIGNAL so at smoother place in the schematic I can use a net label on a wire to make the connection to it? Or do I need to add a net label to a wire connected to the hierarchical pin get the correct connectivity?


 

Hi,

There's no need to add a net label; the hierarchical pin name will
define the name of the net for you. Note that hierarchical net names
have a directory-style name, so SIGNAL will be /SUBSHEET/SIGNAL.

Regards,

Robert.
