NET_SHORT Property

archive
archive over 18 years ago

All,

I'm having a problem with the subject property. Referring to a Cadence app note, I wanted to short two nets using vias. I selected a via and using the following syntax (NET_SHORT=AGND:DGND) and tried to short these two nets. The via displayed the correct properties but only connected to the net name of the first net(in this case, AGND). Reversing the order resulted in DGND being attached but not to AGND. I know there are alternate ways of making this desired connection and I use most of them but I want to make this work. Any suggestions ? I use ver 15.7.

Thanks,

Ron Scott

    Thank you, I am referring specifically to shorting planes together with vias. I have several methods I use to perform this function but I want the ability to use vias in the .brd. I can assign the NET_SHORT property to a via but it will not hook the planes up. One plane will hook to the via while the other plane is voided.
