Moving Bond Wires and Bond Fingers

The Move wire or finger command lets you move bond wires and fingers individually to a new position on the guide. To move a bond wire:

1. Choose Module – Bond Wire – Move wire or finger. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut key M.
2. Select the bond wire to be repositioned by selecting either the complete instance or the level-1 path of the bond wire instance.
3. Press F3 to display the Move form. In addition to the standard Move options, the form includes a Wire Bond section. Select Snap end points to specify the snapping behavior of bond wires. The snapping behavior differs based on the selection.
   • If the IO side of a bond wire is selected, the endpoint is snapped to the same net IOs.
   • If the finger side is selected, the snapping behavior depends on the Unlock finger setting.
     • OFF (default): Endpoints of locked fingers are snapped to the nearest guide.
     • ON: Endpoints are snapped to the nearest guide, finger of same net, or IO of same net.
