Net Logic

Wildwpe
Wildwpe 19 days ago

Had a really fun task I've been working and I am at the last step.

We had Gerbers from over 20 yrs ago and of course no board or schematic file, so I had to recreate the layout from the Gerber files.  I used DXF imports and the logic commands and have finished the work.  We did output artwork compares using a Gerber tool to confirm accuracies. 

So here's my question:
I created 6 nets that have no logic assigned to them, and I can't seem to delete them form the database.  I am able to rename them, and confirm they are unassigned. Tried every trick I could think of.  Any suggestions? (please no skill code).
Thanks,
Wild

    why no skill code?  Just one line you can copy/paste into your normal command window.

    You only need to change the netnames to-be-deleted. (need to be all uppercase)

    skill axlDeleteObject(setof(netid axlDBGetDesign()->nets memv(netid->name list("NET1" "NET2" "NET3" "NET4" "NET5" "NET6"))))

    Hi B Bruekers
    I’d like to add a few more points.

    skill axlDeleteObject(setof(netid axlDBGetDesign()->nets netid->branches == nil && member(netid->name list("NET1" "NET2" "NET3" "NET4" "NET5" "NET6"))))

    Be aware "space" in directories and files . Sometimes it because they may be interpreted as field separator.

    I never use space ( ) but use underscore (_) instead

    I totally agree with you. You're a true veteran in this field! I’m at 11 years and counting, but 25 is next level.
