setPPConn

layoutXL setPPConn boolean { t | nil }

Description

Automatically identifies nodes that qualify as pseudoparallel connections and defines them during chaining and abutment. Contacts are dropped automatically, if appropriate. However, if the preserveTerminalContacts environment variable is switched on, the contacts are preserved.

A pseudoparallel net connects nodes that are always the same voltage, so the current does not pass through the net.

The default is t.

If set to nil, you must define pseudoparallel nets explicitly using the Define Pseudo Parallel Connect Pins command.
