Show Element to get netnames only?

Kory Johnson

Is there a feature in Allegro that allows me to grab some pins and show ONLY the netnames on each pin?  I need to copy that information to a text editor so that I can combine them for a NET_SHORT property.  Using Show Element is great, but it has too much information for what I'm doing - I need something simpler in output

    This may help as long as you don't have a bunch of properties already attached to the nets, Edit>Properties, Find filter Off then Nets On, select the pins in the canvas, the Property editor opens with the net names and attached properties in a "Show Properties" window, use File>Save As to save the properties to a text file. (Select as many nets as required in the canvas, these will be added to the open windows) IF the net names form a pattern, like "GND*", you could use the "Net" in the "Find by Name" section of the Find filter, click on "More" to get all the nets listed and then filter / select the nets from the Find by Name or Property dialog, "Apply" will get the property editor going as above.

     That's a good option.  Thank you.

    Better yet, there is a skill file called vcListBuilder.il that is perfect for what you  are trying to do. Thanks Vincent! This is a tool I use all the time.

     I must say that vcListBuilder.il was a great addition to my toolset.  Thank you Vincent!!!  You saved me MANY hours of copy-and-pasting.

     Thanks for telling me about it, Joe.
