multiple pins on same nets. Router is only routing 1 pin. How to get router to connect all?

Hi, I am using VSR router to route my design. I noticed for certain layout cells, there are multiple pins on same nets. Router is only routing 1 pin. How to get router to connect all?

You almost certainly need to set up must connects on the pins. See these two short videos:

Virtuoso Pin Connectivity Model - Must Connect Pins

Virtuoso Pin Connectivity Model - Must Connect All Pins

Thank you Andrew.

I used below lines

term=dbFindTermByName(cv "vcc_ceehv1")

dbSetTermMustConnectAllPins(term t)

is that any different from what those videos you shared directed?
