Any way to clear Line width selection drop down tab

Tan131

Hi,

I have a design in which i have to use different line widths. During routing, in the option tab's line width drop down there are so many unnecessary line widths are showing. I want to clear all these like we purge unused padstacks. Is there any way to clear this drop down panel. Kindly help.

Regards

    Yes - Invoke the Route - Connect command, select the width you want and use the backspace key until it appears blank then press Enter and you will get a popup saying do you want to delete this value. "Ideally" you should set the line widths required based on Constraint Manager then when you select the net the value is driven by CM. There are also shortcut keys that can be assigned when routing so that you can toggle some default values. The following 5 lines can be added to your env file and will alias the widths and the angle to a width of 15, 22,33,44 and the constraint value to a6, a7, a8, a9,a10 respectively. The last line uses a toggle that is applied to a function key so that when in the add connect command using the F3 key will cycle through the various widths. You can edit these to be the values of your choice (The line width fillin will accept 9 user defined widths) and the angle can be set to 45 as well.

    alias a6 'FORM mini acon_line_width 15;FORM mini lock_mode Line;FORM mini lock_direction 90'
    alias a7 'FORM mini acon_line_width 22;FORM mini lock_mode Line;FORM mini lock_direction 90'
    alias a8 'FORM mini acon_line_width 33;FORM mini lock_mode Line;FORM mini lock_direction 90'
    alias a9 'FORM mini acon_line_width 44 ;FORM mini lock_mode Line;FORM mini lock_direction 90'
    alias a10 'FORM mini acon_line_width Constrain;FORM mini lock_mode Line;FORM mini lock_direction 90'
    alias F3 'settoggle CMD a6 a7 a8 a9 a10;$CMD'
