tapPreference

layout tapPreference cyclic { "noPrefer" | "wire" | "pin" }

Description

Controls the tapped objects that are filtered out if there is more than one object in the tapped list that contains both preferred and non-preferred objects.

• If set to noPrefer, no filtering is done.
• If set to wire, filters out any non-wire tapped objects.
• If set to pin, filters out any non-pin tapped objects.

If the tapped list contains valid route objects but none of them is a preferred object, then the interactive routing ignores the tapPreference setting.

The default is noPrefer.
