Yeah, that's what I was looking for (assigning a net to a via), but couldn't find a way. This retaining the net when copying a via is just fine, I usually want a stand alone gnd via anyways. Wow, that's another improvement to the tool in 15.x. Cadence is starting to impress me! Gary E. MacIndoe PCB Design Engineer Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

But this works fine once you've seeded a ground via. -----Original Message----- From: Gary MacIndoe [mailto:gary.macindoe@xxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 1:01 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: via to gnd Thanks Carl, looks like a pretty handy feature!

It is in the options tab. I use that all the time now for gnd via assignments.

What is the best way to assign a free standing via to gnd? Thanks for any help! Gary E. MacIndoe PCB Design Engineer Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Longmont, Colorado
