Multiple Naming of Signals
A signal name can appear in up to 100 positions along the length of the
same signal line. To add a new position, simply use the normal naming pro-
cedure given in the section on signal naming, such as:
 Select Text mode.
 Click and drag anywhere along the signal line.
 Release the mouse button.
A new copy of the signal’s name will appear at this point, followed by a
flashing cursor. To accept the name, simply click the mouse button once or
press the key. If you edit any occurrence of a name along a signal
segment, all other occurrences will be updated to reflect the new name.
Any occurrence of a signal name can be removed using the Zap tool. If you
remove the last visible name from a signal segment, then the logical con-
nectivity to other like-named signals is removed.
Connecting Signals by Name
Signal names can be used to make logical connections between lines that
are not visually connected on the schematic. The following rules apply:
 Signal names must be visible to be checked for connections, unless a
Signal Connector device (such as Ground) is attached. More
information on invisible names is given in the following section.
Position the pencil cursor
anywhere along the signal
line.
Still holding down the mouse
button, position the cursor
where you want the name to
start.
Type the desired name, up to
15 characters.
Click and hold the mouse button.
The cursor changes to an I-beam.
Release the mouse button. A blinking
insertion marker appears.
Press the Enter key, or click the
mouse button once, to make the
name permanent.
