Slide function issues when routing a wire

alpine

When I started using the wire routing tools I could hold ctl + Shift and my wire would slide up or down/left to right to align it with my begin or end point. For some time now I have not been able to get that to function in any of the PDK's or projects I work on. When I try the commande it tells me "*warning* (WE-20038): Unable to adjust last clicked point"  Any insight on to why that would be happening?

  • My guess is that your snap mode is diagonal, not orthogonal. This only works with orthogonal snap wire. There's an icon in the Options toolbar (the fourth from the left for me) which changes this, but it's also on Options->Display and then it's the Create Snap Mode.

    Hi Alpine,

    Andrew is right it works only in orthogonal snap mode and not with diagonal (you can also press F3 when you are in create wire to check the snap mode).

    It could be as well that you have started from an object like a pin or a rectangle so that the wire would not slide because of the pin/rectangle size.

    Thanks,

    Alex
