The following part is the content I found elsewhere on the Internet:

Use alicloud designer to draw a PCB and modify the width of all power cords. After a bit of exploration, you can use the following two methods to achieve it, both of which are very simple.

1. right-click a power cord and choose find similar objects (shortcut key shift + F). The pop-up dialog box shows you how to set filtering conditions. For example, we want to select all the wires labeled as VDD, select same in the net option, the other is any (default), and then change the line width to the same width, apply, OK.

2. Use PCB filter and PCB inspector. PCB filter, you can use the expression to select any device you need. Open the PCB inspector and enter: innet ('vdd3. 3 V ') and istrack (net label is what you want to modify), and then apply, then we can see in the PCB that all the wires labeled as vdd3.3v are selected, then enable PCB inspector to modify the line width, apply, OK.

The two methods work in the same way. They both try to modify attributes after batch selection. The latter is more powerful, and the former is a shortcut for the latter.

The following is my experience after practice:

The method for modifying attributes in batch by alicloud designer is different from that of protel99se:

1. For versions such as Protel 99se, the attribute editing dialog box (press the tab key or double-click the Edit object to bring up its attribute editing dialog box) contains a button for Attribute editing applicability (local or global, therefore, you can easily modify attributes in batches.

2. The object attribute editing dialog box in alicloud designe does not have the corresponding edit applicability options. The method for modifying batch attributes in alicloud designer can be summarized: select all objects for the property to be modified, and call out Sch inspector if the schematic is edited (click the Sch button in the lower right corner of the interface ), or, if you are editing a PCB, call up the PCH Inspector (click the PCB button in the lower-right corner of the page). Then, select the appropriate applicable object type on the top of the inspector dialog box, modify the parameters of the attribute to be modified in the attribute editing list box below. After the parameters of each attribute are modified, press ENTER or click a place other than the attribute with the mouse, the modified result takes effect immediately.

The batch modification methods 1 and 2 are reproduced above. find similar objects and PCB filter are used to select the objects of interest respectively, and then the actual modification of attributes must be implemented in the PCB inspector.

In addition to the two methods reproduced above, I found a convenient method for batch attribute after exploring the practices:

First, select all objects whose attributes you want to modify in any way (in a PCB, they can be either components or elements such as lines or pad ), click the PCB or Sch button in the lower-right corner of the interface to bring up the corresponding Inspector dialog box, and then follow the method I added above to implement batch attribute modification.
