axlDBCreatePath

Hi,

Maybe I'm mildly retarded, but I'm sure having problems grasping the functionality of axlDBCreatePath as far as how it treats the net names. Obviously, there are arguments to the function to assign the net name to the path definition, but it doesn't work. Then, I find in the documentation that unless the new path touches an existing net, the new cline with be added without a net.

From the documentation:

Notes:
axlDBCreatePath does not add a net name to an etch when the etch is not connected
to a pin, via, or shape.

If an etch is added, it is tied to the first net it touches, otherwise it remains “not on a net”.

If this is the case, what is the point of the "t_netname" argument that you can pass to the function? Basically, I can pass it a net name, but unless the path is already attached to an existing net, it ignores it, and if it is attached to an existing net, it takes that net name and disregards the net you passed to the function.

Basically, I'm trying to add a cline at a specific location and assign it to a specific net.
