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,

  • I was discussing this with one of the architects in R&D last night, wondering why you might want to do this. The only thing we could think of was that maybe you wanted to stop EDI ripping up and re-routing these wires - but there must be other ways of preserving existing routing.

    The main difference is that geometric wires are not part of a "route" object (and they don't have to be symbolic - i.e. the points don't have to tie up between pathSegs, and they could use paths as Colin said). I think you could potentially convert to a "geometric" wire by selecting a segment on the wire and doing: dbDeleteObject(car(geGetSelSet())~>route . But I'd seriously advise against doing that... as Colin said, we've removed the ability to create Geometric wires because it was confusing and really didn't add any value, so I'd certainly question why somebody is asking you to do this...
