Altium how to make it to follow net connection order..
« on: July 14, 2018, 01:16:13 pm »
Hello All;

I am building a circuit board for my balance robot. I am familiar with altium and have no problem with it. But i decided to it would be better if i add "slide swicth" to my circuit because i dont want to plug on/off my lipo wires

here is my schematic :



schematics is perfect. Problem is with pcb design tool. My first thought was to remove all power conns and after auto routing place them manually. But i notice altium pcb designer doesnt allow me to make connections if they are in schematic design. My main language is not english. If you can tell me which term describe my problem i can search it online. Connection orders seems not accurate

Thank you all

Welcome to the forum.

Double click on VIN to get to it's Properties and assign it to the 5V net. There'll be a netlist from which to select it.
Occasionally you get footprints that you have to do this with.

Thank you for answering. Should i do that in pcb or schematics?  In pcb design i am able to click pins but there is no such a thing as a 5v net. I am assuming i should do  that setting on schematics. Also assuming that i should have use net labels? I just make the connections never thing about power line etc. What is correct way to do that ?

this is how auto-route works out :

Don't use sitio route...

I think you can make a selection of the area to autoroute and route only the things inside

JS

If I don't know how it works, I prefer not to turn it on.

Best in schematics and then update changes to the PCB.

Assign a unique Net Label to each of your power rails then ensure the IC pin it supplies is assigned to that net.
Right or double clicking on pins or devices allow you to reassign pins to their correct nets.

Auto-route is very useful to help with component placement and that's about all until you go to some lengths setting defaults to have it laying out as well as you can do it. For final trace layout don't use it.
