[ -ignore_active_route_status [ true | false ] ] 

Description

Changes the route style for the named nets, nets/routes/vias in the given set, or all top-level routes. For example,

• Change global routes to detailed routes.
• Change detailed routes to global routes.
• Change via:redundant to via:global.
• Change via:redundant to via:detail.

(Virtuoso Routing IDE and Space-based Router only) This command is useful if the global router is run in the ECO flow and makes a long connection. For these cases, you would typically use the full routing flow (croute, then detail_route) to complete the connection. In this scenario, use set_route_style instead of croute to quickly change routes from global to detail, then use the detail router to finish the routing.

Arguments

-all	Operates on top-level routes in the entire design.
-from_style {global | detail | redundant}
	Specifies the current style of routes/vias to change. When redundant is specified, via:redundant and wire:detail shapes will be changed to the to_style.
-ignore_active_route_status [ true | false ]
	If true, then fixed/locked/blocked routes and vias belonging to fixed/locked/blocked routes will also be processed. Default: Fixed/locked/blocked routes are not processed. Vias on fixed/locked/blocked routes are not processed unless they are explicitly included in the set given by -set.
-to_style {global | detail | redundant}
	Specifies the new route style for the selected routes/vias. When redundant is specified, vias of the current style will be changed to via:redundant and wires of the current style will be changed to wire:detail.
-net {s_netName…}
	Names the nets to operate on.
-set d_setObj	Operates on nets/routes/vias in the given set. Vias in the set will be processed even when they are part of a fixed/locked/blocked route. By default, vias on a fixed/locked/blocked route are skipped.

Examples

The following command changes routes in net netA from global to detailed:

set_route_style -from_style global -to_style detail -net netA

The following command changes redundant vias on nets in the selected set to via:detail:

set_route_style -from_style redundant -to_style detail -set [get_selection_set]

Redundant vias on fixed routes can be changed to via:detail by creating a set containing those redundant vias and issuing the command:

set_route_style -from_style redundant -to_style detail -set $setOfRedundantVias

Alternatively, the following command changes redundant vias on nets in the selected set to via:detail, including redundant vias on fixed routes:

set_route_style -from_style redundant -to_style detail -set [get_selection_set] -ignore_active_route_status
