Frank,
I have checked in a better svn version for project XML4PCB
with a better layer assignments, $GENERAL, $SETUP and pin nets
but I don't get any ratsnet or any network in the dsn export.
Could you take a quick look to see what I am missing in the brd
file...examples/txpr.brd is a partially routed, simple example.
Are you putting the Nets into the *.brd file? This is "class
EQUIPOT",
which lists all the nets by name and netcode. There should be a block
of these in your *.brd file, one for each net. This list
establishes an
association table between a numeric "netcode" (a positive number > 0)
and each net's name. Netcode 0 is reserved for a disconnected entity
(track, pad, via).
EQUIPOTs to do this:
Netname Netcode
------------- -------------
Then each entity only has to include the numeric netcode.
See line 38 of pcbnew/class_track.h for example.
You can use a counter to assign netcodes, but start at 1, not zero.
Yes, I did this, specified the NumNets and put the numeric reference
in each $PAD specification for each $MODULE...I don't see what else
might be missing!
$EQUIPOT
Na 5 "GROUND"
St ~
Na 4 "VIN"
St ~
Na 3 "IN"
St ~
Na 2 "DEF0_1"
St ~
Na 1 "V"
St ~
$EndEQUIPOT
Off hand do you know what "ST ~" means? (not in the filesformat doc)
thanks,
Frank
