dbCreateConnByName(): WARNING (DB-270004): Shorted nets

karacaoe

 Hello,

 I'd like to connect one net object with one pin object of an instance by using the function dbCreateConnByName().

 The code would be:

;SKILL CODE BEGINS

net_var = dbFindNetByName(new "net011")
db:0xf0d9ab93
inst1 = dbGetInstByName(new "V6")
db:0xf0d9ada1
dbCreateConnByName(net_var inst1 "PLUS")
*WARNING* (DB-270004): Shorted nets - net07
nil

; END

 

net07 is linked to pin "PLUS" of instance V6. Does the last function return nil because 2 nets are shorted? If so how can I solve this Problem and if not, why does the function return nil?

Thank you very much in advance!!

    Hi,

    Which version are you using?   Is "V6" a via?  If that's the case then I would guess that you are using IC5141. You may need to remove any existing net from V6 before you can use dbCreateConnByName(), dbDisconnectObject() perhaps?.  I'm guessing here as there is not much information to go by. If my guess is wrong and V6 is, say, a voltage source or something similar, the previous comment may still be applicable. You can see what 'inst1' is connected to by inspecting its "instTerms" attribute, e.g. inst1~>instTerms~>net

    Hope this helps a little.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
