cv = geGetEditCellView()

vreRunMeshRouter(cv "device" "gbr")

The following example specifies options in batch mode for device-level routing and then performs mesh routing.

cv = geGetEditCellView()

handle = vreGetHandle(cv 'device 'gbr)

vreSetOptions(handle '(nil route_nets "All" route_netsWithin "PR boundary" route_routedLoc "Current cellview"))

vreRunMeshRouter(cv 'device 'gbr)
