I often am in the situation where I want to shuffle the nets that connect two parts around to ease routing. In the past, for large shuffles, I use cut, delete, paste. I paste the part out of the way. Shuffle the nets and the replace the part on top to remake the connections. This does keep all of the attributes, etc. however the layout tool treats the part as a brand new part which then needs to be placed again. For signal net moves, I just copy the net and then delete the old one.
We are shuffling a couple of dozen signals on both a micro and a connector. I must have placed the same parts 50 times in the last week. This is driving me mad. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Jason
