Highlighting a group of nets which match a particular regular expression

debaabed

Hi,

Is it possible to highlight a group nets in Virtuoso schematic editor which matches a particular pattern? Lets say the group of nets has "monitor" in them, is there an option where I can enter *monitor* and the tool highlights all of these nets.

Thanks

    It's not quite a regular expression, but it does have a fair bit of flexibility - I'd suggest using the navigator assistant to do this. Bring up Window->Assistants->Navigator and then (in IC617) click on the Nets link. At the top you can enter "monitor" and it will filter to show all nets with that in the name (the drop down next to the search box allows you to have some control over case sensitivity and various other search choices). Then select all the matches in the navigator and use Right Mouse->Probe->Add. Click in blank space on the schematic and everything will be probed clearly in different colours.

    In IC616 and earlier IC61X versions it's similar, but rather than have categories there's a filter drop down at the top that allows you to narrow it down to Nets rather than searching everything.

    You can use this to search for names lower in the design hierarchy too.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
