How to convert Wire to a Geometric wire

Ferdz

It was requested that I should use "geometric wire" instead of "wire", problem is I was using "wire" for routing from the beginning it will be a lot of work wasted if i re-do the routing.

Is there a way or a script that converts wire to a geometric  wire?

 Please help.

 

regards,

  •  In the latest version you don't get the option to create a geometric wire anymore.

    You only have "create path" or create wire

    I would also be interested to know why it was requested that you use "create geometric wire".

    Because you will potentially get more problems later on. (Wire editor features, finish route, etc will not work if you use paths)

    FYI: Wires consist of path segments ("pathSegs") and vias.

    Geometric wires consist of either pathsegs or paths (depending on your settings when you draw the geometric wires (press <F3> to see ).

    I am guessing that you want to wires consisting of paths and at the moment they are pathsegs.

    I don't know of any way to do this using existing tools features (SKILL perhaps?) (there is a convert to paths feature in the latest software but it doesn't work for pathsegs.

    There are plenty of ways to convert paths to pathsegs. But not the other way round. So the real question back to you is: why do you want to go back to paths (if that is actually what you want)?
