[PCB_FORUM] Re: Moving 1000's of RATSNEST TPOINTs

Hi Gerry.  Yes I have done this.  Some will stay, some will move if the
ECSet is updated/modified.

There is also a bug in the last couple of ISRs that with some ECSets if
the net is partially routed and you assign a fixed_T_tolerance it causes
the ECSet mapping to fail, which in turn removes the rat-t due to the
mapping error, then you audit the ECSet it will pass but the rat-t's
have been replaced and have moved back to their default location.  Then
I have to move them again.

Chris,

After you place your T-Points, select rat-ts in find filter then  Edit
Properties > FIXED_T_TOLERANCE <value> 0 MIL. 

I have done this and it keeps the rat-Ts in place.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Moving 1000's of RATSNEST TPOINTs

Hi All.   I've got an extremely dense board with many different complex
topologies.  I want to move the rat-t's to their Physical Instantiation
which is a via.  They need to be placed to the exact same location as
the via to the same accuracy as the board units (ie if the via is at
12004.39 8980.05 then I want the rat-t at that exact same point).  This
is very time consuming and I end up having to keep doing it over and
over if the ECSet is modified.  

Does anyone know of a skill routine of some other way to have the
tpoints attach to the vias automatically? Or if you can pick the via and
have the rat-t snap to that point.  Currently I have to show element the
via, copy the via location, select and move rat-t, x paste the location,
over and over and over. 

Any help suggestions would be appreciated.
