CAMtastic! Document
(Menu) : Analysis » Measure » Net to Net
Description This command is used to measure and display the shortest distance between any two nets in the current document.
Use First, ensure that the CAMtastic panel is visible and that the netlist for the design is available (in the Nets tab of the panel). You may need to extract the netlist first.
After launching the command, you will be prompted (in the status bar) to "Select First Net". Position the cursor over an object that resides in the required net and click. You will then be prompted to "Select Other Net". Move the cursor over an object associated with this second net and click again. A visual connecting line will appear at the location where the distance between the two nets is the shortest.
Measurement information will appear in the Info tab of the CAMtastic panel, reporting this shortest point-to-point distance, the coordinates of the start and end points of the connecting line, the X and Y distances and the angle created from the horizontal.
Continue measuring the distance between other nets or press ESC to exit measurement mode.
Notes All measurement information uses the current units for the workspace - either inches or millimeters. Units can be changed either from the CAMtastic panel, or the Preferences - Drawing Modes dialog.
