Probing Objects Using Post-Selection Mode

To probe objects using post-selection mode:

  1. In the layout window, choose Options – Highlight.
    This displays the Highlight Options form.
  2. Select the Flightlines check box.
  3. Select the object that you want to probe. For example, select Pins to highlight pins on the probed/selected nets.
  4. Enter the following SKILL function in the CIW:
    geEnterAddNetProbe()
  5. In the cellview, click a single object.
    Other objects with the same connectivity as the selected object are probed.
    In the post-selection mode, objects are probed only when you single-click an object. Objects are not probed if you select multiple objects or use the area selection method.
  6. You can continue to select other objects, one at a time, with a single click. Objects with the same connectivity are probed with the same color. Earlier probed objects are retained.
  7. Press Esc to end the probe command.
