Hi, i am using dbCreatePath() function to create a path, but i dont know how to attach the net name with that path. Any suggestions? Any other function through which we can give the net name to the created path? 

Thanks,

LEO

    Use dbMakeNet to create the net, and dbAddFigToNet to add the newly created path to the net.

    Regards,

    I believe the only solution here is to delete the route object:

    fig=car(s)
    when(fig~>route
      dbDeleteObject(fig~>route)
    )

    Then you can add the figure to the net.

    Andrew.
