Place replicate update default behaviour

Fredda
Fredda 10 months ago

The default behaviour of Place replicate update is to select every new net item connected to the replicate module. This leads to an abundant number of clines, vias and shapes being selected, most of which I don't want to add to the replicate group. It is very tedious to unselect all these items and more often than not, I miss one or two items and then end up with a via or cline in a completely different place on the board or outside of the board.

Is there a way to change this rather annoying behaviour? I haven't found any way to disable it or to batch deselect everything the tool has decided to add to the replicate group.

The question has been asked before, but it didn't get any answers and the thread is now locked.

    Hi Fredda, 

    This is actually something that has already been reported and there are CCRs in place. It is just a matter of R&D giving priority to this request in order for the feature to be tweaked

    After creating the .mdd file you can open it and delete the things that are not needed, save it, then do the "Place replicate apply". I have found that to be less painful than unselecting certain items.
