Examples

In the following example:

• Instance I0 has three terminals S, D and G
• nonStickyTerminals is set on terminal S and D of instance I0
  
  

Here, S_1 and S, G and G_1 are the must connect terminals.

Consider that netA is set on three terminals using the Connectivity – Nets – Propagate command.

Interactive or the batch connectivity extractor removes the connectivity on S, S_1, and D. On terminal G, the connectivity is not removed.

In the following example with nonStickyTerminals S and D, two shapes are created on netA. After interactive or batch extraction, S, S_1, D, G, and G_1 are assigned on netA. If the shapes are deleted from netA, then after interactive or batch extraction, the net is removed from S, S_1, and D but not from G.
