So, if I put nets together with my components, and then switch to layout editor, isn't the program supposed to logically come up with a layout? In my schematic, I connected the components together using these "buses" and then some pop up error came up and said that they need to be connected using nets. So I put the nets on top of the busses, is this right? Or do I only need nets OR busses?
