How to measure routed Clines of a net

Hossein1357

Hi,

I have some termination resistors on some nets - Address nets of DDR memory - I want to measure total Cline between FPGA ball and DDR ball. If I use Display->Element (F4) with Clines in Find enabled it will assume termination resistor path!. I can't understand why it does so?!. I only mean to measure that Cline length when I click on it, why does it calculate the whole net?

    Try This. First Setup some datatip aids to make things easy.

    Go to > Setup > DataTip Customization

    Select "Cline"  > Check Name & Value of " Class, Length, NetName, SubClass"

    Select "Net" > Check Name & Value of " Length, Name"

    Select "Segment"  Check Name & Value of  "Class, Length, Name, Net Name, SubClass, Width"

    Click OK to exit. 

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the find  Dialog Un Check everything and then check "Net" to see the routed length of a particular net.

    In the find  Dialog Un Check everything and then check "Cline" to see the routed length of a Cline Between two points.

    In the find  Dialog Un Check everything and then check "Cline Segs" to see the routed length of a Cline Segment. 

    Hover your mouse over your Cline for the datatip to pop up with the info.

    As steve mentioned it is also possible to check Net, Cline, Cline Segs in the find dialog then when your mouse is over any cline or net use the tab key to cycle through each of the three options you have checked.

    Does this work for you ?

    Thanks Scott
