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

    I can't seem to get the net_short to work. I am using 15.7.

    I added the property to 2 pins of a connector (gnd_power), then I added 3 vias in the gnd plane close to those pins and put the same property on them.

    When I add a shape it will not connect them.

    Is there a bug I don't know about.
