reassign net on multipart path

DaveDesigner

i am looking to write a short little script to re-assign the net name for multipart paths. we have several different MPPs defined and what happens is whatever the first net it touches get assigned to the MPP in XL. It is an annoying task to select the MPP and re-assign the subparts for the net you want on the MPP.

 I was trying something like:

cv=geGetSelectedSet()

foreach(path cv

path~>net~>name="newname" )

following error: *Error* setSGq: dbSetq: Can not set attribute - name

  • This isn't doing exactly what I had hoped as it turns out. It changes the connectivity so that the flashes go away when in XL but if I copy this MPP to another location in the cell it reverts back to the original connectivity because it is still assigned to the subparts. The way I permanently fix the problem manually is to select the MPP and then click on the Subpart... button. THis brings up the Edit ROD Subpart form. I have to select the M1 drawing part and type in the name of the new net. I then select the Subrectangle button and select the "CO" drawing part and change the netname there also. Then the MPP is permanently changed. I was hoping to do this somehow with this skill but presently it seems it just changes the connectivity. Once it is copied the connectivity is changed to the netname assigned to these two subparts.
