Managing Net Groups Ends Representations

In a diagram view, you can place and manage the representation of a net group end.

This task shows you how to:

Create a Net Group End Representation

Before you begin:
  • In Data Setup, define a representation for net groups ends in the Default NetGroup Extremity Representation resource. For more information, see Electrical Logical Resources.
  • Create nets.
  • Create and place two equipments and connect them with the nets.


  1. Multiselect all the nets.
  2. On the context toolbar, click Manage Net Group Extremities .
  3. In the NetGroup Extremities dialog box, select the desired representation.
    The representation appears and follows your pointer.

  4. Place your representation at the convenient place and click.
  5. In Logical Net Group dialog box, enter a name for the net group and click OK.

    Note: If the net group already exists, the Logical Net Group dialog box does not appear.

    The net group is created. The existing nets are grouped under the net group. The ports linked with the representation are highlighted and a panel appears.

  6. In the panel, select one of the following options:
    • : Validates the link between your representation and the net ports.
      Note: The suggested link is the one with the nearest ends of the nets.
    • : Removes the representation from the view and ends the command.
    • : Allows you to choose other ports for the link with representation.
      Note: If you select this option, you need to select to validate the selection.
    If you have selected or , your symbol is now placed in the diagram view.

    In the tree, the net group end representation is linked with the end ports of the selected nets and with the end port of the net group.

    Note: If you have defined several types of representation in Data Setup, you can change the representation displayed in the diagram view by selecting it, and then clicking Manage Net Group Extremities again.

Place an Existing Net Group End Representation

You can place the same representation several times.

Before you begin: A net group end representation must already be placed.
  1. In the diagram view, click one of the nets.
  2. On the context toolbar, click Display a NetGroup Extremity .
    The NetGroup Extremities dialog box appears.
  3. Place your representation at the convenient place and click.
    The representation is placed. Since it is a duplicate of the representation placed previously in the diagram view, both representations refer to the same object in the tree.

Delete a Net Group End Representation

Before you begin: A net group end representation must already be placed.
  1. In the diagram view, select the representation of the net group end.
  2. On the context toolbar, click Delete NetGroup Extremity object and symbol .
    All representations are removed from the diagram view and its associated object is deleted from the tree.

Highlight Ports Linked with the Net Group Representation

  1. In the diagram view, select a net.
  2. On the context toolbar, click Display objects linked to this extremity .
    The ports linked with the representation are highlighted.
