All of the pads on my PCB footprint are on the same net.

[Braeden151]

So I made my own symbol using the symbol wizard for the RN-52 bluetooth module. I then made my own PCB footprint and linked them together. Each pad on the footprint has a unique designator that corresponds to a pin on the symbol. I checked the pin mapping between the symbol and the footprint and all was well.

However in my PCB all of the pads are on the same net. When I try to manually assign a pad to a net ALL of the other pads get assigned with it. So suddenly they're all GND or 5V or what have you.

This is very odd and I'm not sure how to fix it.

Any help is appreciated!

Make sure your footprint primitives line up with your schematic pins and you do not have any hidden pins.





If it isn't the above I suspect you actually have a connectivity issue. I doubt there is an issue with Altium.

I think this goes without saying, but pin names have no effect on connectivity. Make sure that your pin designators are the things that are unique.

This sounds a lot like all of the pins are in the same physical spot for some reason - like you added 8 pins that are in the same spot, then not realizing, added 7 more in the proper position around the symbol, and somehow mapped only the first 8 that are actually on top of each other. Then when you wire up one, you wire up all.

Long story short, check that your pins aren't somehow physically overlapping in the symbol.

Make sure that pin designators of Schematics symbol and PCB footprint are unique and have same correspondence

Do you have the pads configured as jumpers?
