How to Select Only Wires or Nets in Area in Schematic

teevskis

Specifically in Design Entry CIS (17.2 S037), I can't find a setting that allows me to only select net wires in an area.  I'm trying to quickly select all nets in an area to apply a net_physical_type and net_spacing_type net class attribute to these selected nets.

    Hi teevskis, 

    With a sheet open, RMB > Selection Filter. Enable 'Nets' only. 

    Drag the area to select the net segments. The filter only applies in drag mode, and only includes net segments (not entire nets). For the purpose of adding properties it works as needed. 

    Once selected, RMB > Edit Properties.

    Personally I use Constraint Manager for this, but understand there are reasons you might choose this method. The absence of Constraint Manager in Capture for one.

    Perfect, thanks.  I've been using Cadence PCB tools for 6 years and had no idea the Selection Filter existed.
