How to assign VIA to a net name?

mizzihood

Hello,

I'm having problems with adding/naming Vias. I select the "Add via", then "by geometry", specify it's geometry and put (click) it over an existing net. The problem however is, that the Via isn't connected to the net. The attribute window says it's net is _NULL.

I acquired the property value with:

>dbGet selected.net.name

and it returned _NULL as expected, however the counterpart command

>dbSet selected.net.name desired_name

returned "Attribute 'name' of object 'net' does not have set permission .....", which makes sense, sinse the attribute window didn't allow the change either. 

The question therefore is how to tell a VIA that it belongs to a particular net, apart by crossing nets orthogonally?

  • Ahh, yes I found the thread and didn't realize that "DI" was not appropriate. Since I am using Cadence PCB Editor 16.6, and this is a PCB Editor question I assumed it would be relevant - definitely my mistake! So there are more than 1 PCB layout tools by Cadence? Sheesh!
