I figured my way was just toooo easy!
 
I feel your pain... I once had to deal with a DE who thought that
changing the path name in the schematic would
change the placement on the board.... boy was he wrong!

Hi Shirley,
Yes, but all it does is point "temporarily" and is very difficult to see
if it is to a flag pin, a flag body or a short wire segment.
Then you have to zoom in to see and it goes away. Grantid, you can zoom
in and repeat this on every area on every page, but if you miss one...no
rat on board.

With all the wiring checks, why not have this? I know...I just couldn't
resist.
Thanks for your reply,

Mark
 

First of all:
Why would it EVER let you add a signal name to a flag if then it would
not recognize it as a connection??????????????????????
A new E.E. did not know better and littered the schematic

        Have you tried using the show attachment? If a signal name is
attached
        to a pin there should
        be a red line to the pin. Signal names attached to wires show
where the
        name is attached on the wire.

        Hello,
        Is there a way to tell if signames are attached to a wire
instead of a 
        flag? Besides attributing each wire which is very time
consuming.
        We found that a signame can be accidentally assigned to a flag
pin 
        instead of a wire segment.
        Therefore, the connection is not made in the board.
        
        How can we verify this was not done in our schematics.
        
        Thanks,
        Mark
