<h3> I want new instances to get assigned a new unique name automatically.</h3>

Add this to your xschemrc file:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="code">set disable_unique_names 0</pre>

By default XSCHEM allows instance name (Refdes) duplicates in the schematic.
|
||
|
|
This must be resolved by the user normally, before exporting any netlist.
|
||
|
|
The <kbd>Hilight - Highlight duplicate instance names</kbd> (<kbd>k</kbd> key) menu entry
|
||
|
|
can be used to mark the components that need to be renamed.
|
||
|
|
The <kbd>Highlight - Rename duplicate instance names</kbd> menu entry can be used to automatically
|
||
|
|
rename the last added components so that they have an unique name.
|
||
|
|
Using the above mentioned xschemrc option will automatically rename any added refdes
|
||
|
|
that clashes with existing names.

<h3> Why do i have to press 'm' to move a component instead of just click and drag? </h3>
|
||
|
|
<p class="faq">
|
||
|
|
XSCHEM is intended to handle very big schematics, mouse drags are used to select a rectangular portion
|
||
|
|
of the circuit to move / stretch, if a mouse click + drag moves components it would be very easy to move
|
||
|
|
things instead of selecting things. This happens with geda-gschem for example: <br>
|
||
|
|
<img src="faq00.png"><br>
|
||
|
|
Here i want to select the R7 and R8 resistors, so i place the mouse close to the upper-left R7 boundary and
|
||
|
|
start dragging, but since clicking also selects nearby objects the wire gets selected and moving the mouse will move the wire.<br>
|
||
|
|
<img src="faq01.png"><br>
|
||
|
|
This behavior is considered not acceptable so clicking and dragging will never modify the circuit.
|
||
|
|
Pressing 'm' (for move) or 'c' (for copy) makes the behavior more predictable and safer. A new user just needs to get used to it.
