Hi All,

Purpose: I want to clear the netname for objects,shapes if its in group or clone as well

I have tried in different ways to clear net name using skill.

eg: 

1.dbRenameNet function

2.geGetSelSet()~>net~>name = ""
3.geGetSelSet()~>net~>name = nil

Nothing works for me can anyone help me on this?

Thanks,

Mahesh

    Hi Mahesh,

    geGetSelSet()~>net=nil

    will do it (unless the figures are part of a route, in which case I think you have to delete the route object, using dbDeleteObject(fig~>route)). You can also use dbSubFigFromNet(fig) - again, assuming it's not part of a route.

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you so much for your information.

    fig~>route returning nil.

    do we have any other procedure or functions to clean the net name.

     

    Thanks,

    Mahesh

    Mahesh,

    I told  you this already. You can either set fig~>net=nil or dbSubFigFromNet(fig) - this removes the figure from the net, and so if you edit properties on the shape, it won't have a net name.

    The only restriction was if the figure was part of a route, because you'd get a message telling you that you can't remove the figure from a net if it's part of a route. It's not part of a route in your case so that restriction doesn't apply.

    Regards,

    Andrew
