What's Good About Allegro DEHDL Net Renaming? The Secret's in the 16.6 Release!

Just a brief post this week to mention a new capability for Allegro Design Entry HDL (DEHDL) that was made available in the 16.6-QIR4 release.

You can now employ net renaming without loss of data:

• All instances of the net will be renamed to a new name
• All properties and constraints captured on the net instances retained
• All membership to net objects are retained

The net rename capability is available as:

• A menu command
• A context (RMB) menu command
• Change of a net name
• Using the Attribute Editor
• Using the Change command
• As a DEHDL console command:

    _netrename <old_net_name> <new_net_name>

I look forward to your feedback on this capability.
