How to convert Wire to a Geometric wire

Ferdz
Ferdz over 11 years ago

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

    Hi All,

    Thank for your replies!

    You are all correct, the root of the problem is our Digital guy is complaining about missing wires/vias in his EDI environment.

    I tried to set the RouteStatus of all shapes/via/wires to "locked" but still it didn't help.

    I will try the solution mentioned by Alex for my existing layout and will raise a ticket to fix the bug so we can use wire for future designs without worries.

    I will inform you if this works.

    Again, Thanks a lot.
