You can create a net reference.

Important: A net can only be created under a logical reference.

Before you begin:
  • Create a logical reference (Electrical System).
  • Create a diagram view under the logical reference (Electrical System).

  1. Activate the diagram view.
  2. Right-click the logical component (Electrical System) and select Insert New Logical Component.

    Tip: This command is also available from the Spreadsheet.

    The New Content dialog box appears.
  3. Expand the Electrical Logical tab and right-click Logical Net.
  4. Optional: Select the Set attributes at creation option.

    Note: This option remains selected when creating the same type of component.

  5. Click Logical Net.
    The Logical Net dialog box appears.
  6. In the Logical Net dialog box, type a name and click OK to create your net reference.

    In the tree, under the parent component (Electrical System), note that:

    • A Net 1 node is created and aggregates an Electrical node.
    • An Extensions node is created to store all electrical nodes. In our example, it aggregates a Nets node containing the extended electrical component (Net 1).

    In the active diagram view, The Route Command dialog box appears. You can route your net or close the Route Command dialog box. For more information about routing nets, see Routing Nets and Net Groups.
