Shape with Dummy Net to Assign Net that the Shape is Touching

EASiA

Hi All,

Is there a skill out there that can go through all shapes on any layer that are dummy nets and assign them to the net that they are touching? Basically if a shape is a dummy net and touching another net, I want it to be assigned to said net.

This same thread is in the PCB SKILL forum as well (https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/pcb-skill/43333/shape-with-dummy-net-to-assign-net-that-the-shape-is-touching). I just did not know which one would actually get an answer quicker. I see mention of skills here all the time.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  • I'm thinking no, since it would be pretty limited by "to the net that they are touching". Normally when I put a dummy shape down it's touching 3-4 objects (traces, vias, shapes). I know where you're coming from though. If I copy a large 'like' circuit I need to re-assign the shapes, but I just DO IT. Time's a wasting. There are a couple guys on the SKILL forum that might take you up on the challenge though.
