PASS (schema) Net Custom Property from Schematic to PCB Editor

grax

Hi

refer to picture

I want to:

1- create a CUSTOM Net property (MyProperty) on a Net of the schematic and then

2- get that property in PCB EDITOR (Allegro Constraint Manager-worksheet = PROPERTIES > Net > General Properties) see picture

Today it is possible to do this only for the property VOLT but this field doesn't not accept STRING, only numbers unfortunately

pls help on this

Best

    I tried it at my end. It takes string along with numeral as unit 'Volt'. See below:

    Moreover, if you want to take any user defined net property from Schematic to layout (Capture-Allegro), then try defining that property in Allegro.cfg under [netprops] section.

    Also, under Design Sync setup, say 'Yes' for 'Create user-defined properties' and see if it takes it in the netlist pstxnet.dat or not.

    For more details on this, you can also refer following link of article from Cadence online support portal:

    THANKs!

    this is very usefull as it allows to create NET_CLASSES properties (hispeed, powerlanes, diffpair, clock_tree, lowspeed) on Nets directly from schematic and then such properties into Nets under Allegro, where they can be further associated with DesignRules

    Actually Altium does this quite well and I was expecting OrcadX beeing capable to support such feature too; hopefully CADENCE will add this in coming releases

    bye
