How select only pins, but highlight associated net?

SO202503141427 5 months ago

In the design object find filter, I would like to enable only "pins". Then when I select a pin, I would like the associated net to be highlighted.

I can approximate this by enabling both "pins" and "nets" in the find filter - but then I also can select nets that are routed under or near the pin (and I am trying to avoid those).

I'll try to attach an image if the post will let me ...

Hi SO202503141427 . I would suggest (not enabling both pins and nets in the find filter but) to use a combination of the "Find by Name" (say to search for the net name) and the find filter set to Pins only.

Alternatively, you can also write a custom script in SKILL that takes a selected pin's dbid, extracts its net name and selects all pins belonging to this net.
