Net Name

Specifies a net name for the wire being created

Environment variable: netName

Probe Nets

Creates probes for the selected or specified nets.

Wiring

This section lets you specify the width and layer for the wire that you want to create.

Width

Specifies the width of the wire to be created using point-to-point routing.

Environment variable: enableWidthOverride

Layers

This section lets you specify the layer range.

Routing

Specifies the Top and Bottom layers to define the range of the valid routing layers. The specified layer range generally intersects the Pin Escape layer range. If you override the valid top or bottom layer, a color bar appears next to the layer cyclic field. Placing the cursor over the color bar displays the specified routing layer limit and the override information,

Pin Escape

Specifies the Top and Bottom layers to define the layer range. You can use this field to override the validLayers setting in the virtuosoDefaultTaper constraint group. If a virtuosoDefaultTaper constraint group does not already exist, it is created based on the specified Layers, Vias, and Halo values. If you override the valid top or bottom layers, a color bar appears next to the layer cyclic field. Placing the cursor over the color bar displays the specified pin escape layer limit and the override information.

Valid Vias

Lets you select the vias to be used for creating and editing wires. Clicking the Vias button in the Routing column opens the Net tab in the Via Configuration form, and clicking the Vias button in the Pin Escape column opens the Pin Escape tab in the Vias Configuration form. The Pin Escape tab in the Vias Configuration form display the valid standard and custom vias from the application default constraint group.

Halo

Specifies the taperHalo value of the virtuosoDefaultTaper constraint group. You can override this value by specifying a positive float value.

Connection Type

Exact Location

Uses the exact digitized points to create routing between two given points.

Shortest Connection

Uses the shortest route for connecting points and may also use pre-existing wires for creating the route.

Environment variable: p2pSeedStyle
