Mark all pins "not connected" ??

David Slipper All Messages By This Member #23129 It is rather tedious marking 90 pins of a 100 pin package as "no connection" so I was wondering if there was a way to automatically mark them all as such in one action ??? Perhaps a plug-in ?? I tend to design a basic circuit first (MCU + crystal, psu, etc) and then add functionality in stages, periodically running the ERC. There doesn't seem to be a way of suppressing the "no connection" warnings in the ERC, so I find it easier mark them all and then to remove "no connection" indicators as I add functionality. Is there a way to do this ?? Regards, Dave
brian All Messages By This Member #23130 Usually pins have a certain spacing. I just copy and paste the no connects. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 2021-10-13 10:46 p.m., David Slipper wrote: It is rather tedious marking 90 pins of a 100 pin package as "no connection" so I was wondering if there was a way to automatically mark them all as such in one action ???

Craig Burden All Messages By This Member #23133 If the pins follow the standard grid spacing you can place a single no connect at the top of the symbol and use insert to populate the pins below toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, 14 Oct 2021, 06:44 David Slipper, <softfoot@...> wrote: Many thanks all - I hadn't thought of "cut and paste", Ill give that a try.

Dale All Messages By This Member #23135 Hi Dave, I haven't tried this but could you select, left click and drag over the pins, and then tell it to put no connect flags on all the pins?? It may not work but should only take a minute to try it.? Remember to save first, just in case it fails in a spectacular fashion.? Dale :-)? :-)?

Andy All Messages By This Member #23136 The files are text based, so a simple script would set the pins to whatever state you wanted easily. SED would do, but it should be doable with a standard code editor and some sneaky find and replace. (or go tp perl, python or whatever your fav language is!)
