Excluding Nets

From the Conversion to Wires

You can use the “Exclude Nets or Multicores from the Nets to Wires conversion” constraint to exclude specific nets and multicores from the Nets to Wires action.

Caution

When running the Nets to Wires action on a build list, Siemens recommends that all designs in the build list have the same constraints applied to them; otherwise, the results of the Nets to Wires conversion could be unpredictable, especially regarding the conversion of shared objects.

Tip

You can bundle constraints into rules that can be set on objects. See Rules and Constraints to create rules.

Procedure

Right-click the design in the Project Browser and select Edit.The Edit Design dialog box is displayed. See Editing the Information for a Design.
Click Properties.The Edit Design Properties Dialog Box is displayed.
Click the Rules tab, and then click the Add Constraint button ().
The Constraint Selection dialog box is displayed. Figure 101: Constraint Selection Dialog Box
Select Exclude Nets or Multicores from the Nets to Wires conversion and click OK.The constraint is added to the Edit Design Properties dialog box. Figure 102: Edit Design Properties Dialog Box
Edit the constraint as required and click OK.Note To exclude both nets and multicores from the action, you must apply at least two constraints.

Results

When you run the Nets to Wires action on the design or a build list containing the design, the nets or multicores that match any of these constraints are excluded from the action in this design. Note If Nets to Wires constraints apply to multicores and a matching multicore is an inner multicore (nested within another multicore), that multicore is not excluded from the conversion. If a root multicore matches a constraint, all of the multicores and nets nested inside it are excluded from the conversion.
