    Hi all,

    Change_net_on_vias.il is a very useful Skill file!

    However, Is it difficult to add the ability to "Pick" a net by clicking on a Pad or Cline in aAllegro?

    As it is now, I show element on net to copy netname, then paste this netname in the change net dialog box.

    See attached.

    Place the (unzipped) 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.

    Hello Dave,

    Thank you so much for your reply!

    That really works well! I like the cross hairs scope look while looking for vias.

    So looks like I should run the original one to pick a net list or this one to pick a segment, pin, etc…

    Judging from this, I have both in my menu.

    I was just wondering, it seems to not matter if I pick pin, segment, etc…

    My concern is if it pick the wrong thing…such as a RAT, other segment, etc…

    Thanks once again Dave!

    Regards,

    Mark

    Hi Mark, Test it! It will give you the choice of nets if more than one found at the selected location. Regards, Dave
