Prevent Net Extraction for Shapes

PK202501238151

Hi,

is there a way to prevent net extraction for specific shapes? I'm generating layouts with external tools and mark the with `lxStickyNet = t` to prevent their nets to change by the extraction. However, there are also shapes that have no net assigned, and they change connectivity, even though lxStickyNet is set.

Thanks, kind regards,

Patrick

    Patrick,

    I'm not sure of the answer (without doing some additional research), but my first question is why you would want shapes on connectivity layers without nets to continue not having nets (I understand for the scenario where you have pre-assigned the net yourself; not so much for the net-less shapes)?
