Bundling nets

A netBundle is a group of nets with names that have the same pattern. For example, nets with names such as N_357_0, N_357_1, and N_357 are bundled together as are  crc_100_, crc_200_, and crc_300_.

A netBundle represents all nets in the group as a bus. In NetlistViewer, lines representing netBundles are brown and thicker than single nets. NetlistViewer automatically generates netBundles whenever possible. You cannot create, expand, or unbundle a netBundle.

Nets are bundled into a netBundle if the net names match one of the following patterns:

*(..)

*[..]

*{..}

*<..>

*_..._

*_..

where “*” stands for any character string and “..” must consist of digits only.

Note: Pins are connected to the net, not the netBundle.
