Net Names
This shows the net name list from the duplication selection only, net names outside the selection are not shown. Nets can be selected from this list directly by picking or by using one of the selection methods. They would be selected to have the Check feature applied to them for net name duplication. By leaving them unchecked the Rename criteria is applied.
Merge All
With this setting, all nets will be merged, as if you had selected all the nets in the list of net names.
Rename All
With this setting, all nets will be renamed according to the rename criteria, as if you had deselected all the nets in the list of net names.
Auto Increment
Use this to increment the existing net name to the next available net name in the sequence but matching the existing name, e.g. A0, A1 and A2 become A3, A4 and A5 respectively.
Prefix
Use this radio button to direct the rename to use a predefined prefix at the start of the existing net name. E.g. C10 becomes ZC10 if the Prefix is set to Z . This Prefix is applied to all unchecked net names.
Suffix
Use this radio button to direct the rename to use a predefined suffix at the end of the existing net name. E.g. A10 becomes A10_B if the Suffix is set to _B. For all the rename types, it will continue to increment the resulting name until it finds one that does not already exist in the design. This suffix is applied to all unchecked net names.
Select Items
Use All or None to select or deselect all of the net names in the nets column. Once selected, use the Check or Uncheck buttons to select the names required, or to deselect those not required.
Named
This entry allows you to type in a name or string with wildcards to make the selection, i.e. A* will select everything name starting with A, e.g. A0, A1 etc. More refined selections can be made by increasing the characters to filter, e.g. A2*
With Class
This allows the Net Class associated with the nets in the duplication group to be used as the selection criteria. This enables you to select Net Classes of Power for example, which in turn are checked for connecting to an existing named net.
Check/Uncheck
These buttons are used to make the selection in the Nets column used during duplication. Check is used to select net names and Uncheck deselects net names if already selected.
