ROFLMAO!!!!! Cadence said they were going to change it and make it work? If I had a buck for every time I have heard that in the last 20 years... :D Good luck, Austin. I hope they do it for you, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Heck, they haven't even got modules working right and they just added that a version or two ago. Every new patch makes it worse :) -- George Patrick Tektronix, Inc. Central Engineering, PCB Design Group P.O.

I guess you want a hidden "Net > Name" that will track the visible "net Name", eh? It has the network as a reference. For example, U2.3 to U4.6. This is not a real difficult problem as far as a tool being able to do this correctly (other tools do it no problem), it's just that this particular tool does not support it...yet. > Sorry, ain't going to happen. > Probably could write an Allegro skill routine to interface with a Concept > skill routine to resolve these kinds of conflicts, but it isn't worth the > hassle.

Which means, either can be "in control".
