Mark Net to a path without net name in layout using skill code for IC5141_USR6 .

Hi All,

Does someone has a skill code to Mark Net a path that has no net name in the layout ?

Because if I use the Connectivity - Mark Net, then I select a net(path) to mark,

it does not work,  I am using IC5141_USR6.'

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Marben

    Marben,

    Mark Net doesn't require connectivity in the layout, so there's no need for it to have a net name. It uses shape chasing to figure out the connectivity, starting from a point in the layout.

    There's no SKILL API equivalent (only leHiMarkNet()) in IC5141; leMarkNet (the non-human-interface API) was added in IC616, and takes an xy coordinate as the starting point.

    So if it's not working, there must be something wrong with the layers setup for the mark net command.

    Regards,

    Andrew
