regarding non default rule of nets and wires

Hai everyone,

In my project ,

when i run below command , i see that all nets have either "Track2X_Wide1X_Metal_0 non default rule" or default rule

selectInstByCellName ckbfxss*

dbGet selected.instTerms.net.rule.name

 

However when i run below command i see other non default rules also. "SNPS_DefGenNDR_3 SNPS_DefGenNDR_8 Track2X_Wide1X_Metal_0 SNPS_DefGenNDR_7 SNPS_DefGenNDR_9 SNPS_DefGenNDR_1 SNPS_DefGenNDR_10 SNPS_DefGenNDR_4 SNPS_DefGenNDR_2 SNPS_DefGenNDR_5 SNPS_DefGenNDR_6 SNPS_DefGenNDR_12 SNPS_DefGenNDR_11 SNPS_DefGenNDR_13 SNPS_DefGenNDR_14"

selectInstByCellName ckbfxss*

dbGet selected.instTerms.net.wires.rule.name

 

1) Does that means some of the wire segments of a net are routed with different rules? Why this is happening ?

2) How to select these wire segments.There is command selectNet to select nets. What is the commands to select wire segments.

 

It will be grateful if some one helps

    I'm not sure why you see 2 different rules on the net. You can run the following to select wires for a specified rule. Change "double" to the rule you want to select segments for:


    set ruleName "double"
    set wireWithRulePtr [dbGet -p2 top.nets.wires.rule.name $ruleName]
    foreach wire $wireWithRulePtr {
      set netName [dbGet $wire.net.name]
      set box [lindex [dbGet $wire.box] 0]
      set layer [dbGet $wire.layer.name]
      eval editSelect -net $netName -area $box -layer $layer
    }

    Hope this helps,
    Brian
