Add jumpers to the layout

Soundman99

I work on very low-cost designs, and many times, we try to keep our boards to single sided boards, if possible.  One of the issues we run into here is with the use of jumpers.  We'll use thru-hole wire jumpers of various sizes all over the board.  If we know where they need to be, it's easy to place them in capture and then export physical, and place them on the layout.  The issue is when we get to the layout, and we find that we need to add a jumper or two.  We end up ending our connect lines, writing that net down on a sheet of paper, and then going back into the schematic and putting a bunch of jumpers in all over the design.

 Is there a way to place the jumpers in the layout and then import that back to the schematic?

 I'm thinking about trying to write a script that would do this for us, but I haven't gotten into scripts all that much yet, so I'm a little hesitant.

    Hi,

    To my knowledge there is no way to get this back into the schematic if you're using Capture CIS (Allegro Design Entry CIS).

    I'm not sure if this also is the case for Allegro Design Entry HDL.
