[PCB_FORUM] Re: Changing netnames in Allegro not back-annotat ed to ConceptHDL schematics...

ROFLMAO!!!!!

Cadence said they were going to change it and make it work?  If I had a buck
for every time I have heard that in the last 20 years... :D

Good luck, Austin.  I hope they do it for you, but I wouldn't hold my
breath.  

Heck, they haven't even got modules working right and they just added that a
version or two ago.  Every new patch makes it worse :)

George,

It has the network as a reference.  For example, U2.3 to U4.6.  This is not
a real difficult problem as far as a tool being able to do this correctly
(other tools do it no problem), it's just that this particular tool does not
support it...yet.

Cadence said they have it on their list of future updates to the product, so
perhaps in a release or two it will work.  Which means, either can be "in
control".
