How to get a list of Electrical Netclass groups?

Does anyone know how to get a list of electrical netclasses? I've tried:

groups = axlSelectByProperty("group" "ELECTRICAL_CONSTRAINT_SET")

but this only returns "BUS" and "DIFF_PAIR". I've also tried:

groups = setof(g axlDBGetDesign()->groups g->type == "NETCLASS")

this returns all the physical, spacing and electrical netclasses, but for some reason I can't test any of the physical, spacing or electrical properties, such as car(groups)->electrical. This give a *WARNING* (dbidGetProp): Attribute electrical not supported for the element, group.

TIA

Hi Dave,
That will give me all the electrical constraint sets (ECS). I'm looking for the net classes (NCI) defined in the electrical constraint worksheet.

Hi Craig,

Sorry. Does axlNetClassGet help? You may have to process each net.

Cheers, Dave

Dave,
I thought about axlNetClassGet, but that seems like such a hack to have to process 1200 nets in the design to get 10 electrical net classes. I hoping for a clean implementation, anyway I was able to get the electrical net classes that way. Maybe an SR to and 'netclass to axlNetClassGet.
Thanks,
Craig

Do a
nc = axlDBGetDesign()->netclass ; get all netclasses in design
enc = setof(item nc item->electrical) ; filter to to just those in the electical domain
