Changing net on vias

RobBlomstrom1

Besides the traditional way to replace a via or reroute to it, does anyone know of a workaround or skill script to "assign" a net to a via much like we do with shapes?

    DE_changeViaNet_public.zip

    See attached (if it came through - I just dragged and dropped

    Place the file: "DE_changeViaNet_public.cxt" in your Skill path

    In your allegro.ilinit file add the following lines:
    loadContext("DE_changeViaNet_public.cxt")
    axlCmdRegister("chgvianet" 'CVN_changeViaNet ?cmdType "interactive")

    Type "chgvianet" in the console window to run the utility. Use the Right Mouse Button for options.

    Hi Dave,

    Would you be able to debug this error message I'm getting?

    E- *Error* loadContext: could not open file - "64bit/DE_changeViaNet_public.cxt"

    Allegro loads my other skill files without problems.

    Thank you very much for your help. I always find your skill routines very helpful.

    Hi Heike,

    Sorry for the late reply, I have been on vacation.

    Try putting the unzipped attached file in your 64bit Skill folder. 17.2 requires a new context file.

    Just as an FYI for all 17.2-2016 S031 now has this functionality in by default so hover over a via - right click - Assign net to via.
