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,

Ferdz

  • Hello Gerald,

    Actually if you set routing status of the wire to "fixed" or "locked" then EDI/Nanouroute should not touch it.

    If this is the case then this is a bug and I recommend your CAD group to contact the Cadence support and open a ticket to fix it.

    Another solution is to set the net signalType to 'analog' and then to use the following option in EDI:

     

    •  setNanoRouteMode -dbSkipAnalog true

     

    • setTrialRouteMode -dbSkipAnalog true

    Another option would be that you use the regular Create > Wire command and then you use Edit > Wire > Compose Trunk command to convert pathSegs and vias into a route to pathSegs and vias not in a route. EDI will see the pre-routes as Special routes and then Nanoroute is not going to touch it.

     Thanks,
