    Hi,

    How can I highlight all nodes with the same potential in Virtuoso schematic
    ?

    Regards

    Tough ....
    since Potentials are real ....
    what you need is to set a tolerance of what you consider to be the same ...
    (say within 0.01 of a volt or whatever you like)
    .... Then run through each net found on the schematic ...
    look in the list you are creating and then put the signal/voltage pair in
    the list ...
    If you find another signal that is close to the voltage, then create a
    second list of matched voltages lists ....
    (this could get messy if the were more than 10 sets .... )
    Some nice GUI on the front end could let you sort the lists of lists or pick
    matches.

    .... Then writer some skill to highlight the sets of sets ...

    and put the voltage in a paired list ...

    The actual code I leave to others ...

    I`m looking for all nodes which are directly connected to each other.

    By definition, if they are directly connected, they are the same net!

    Just probe the net

  5. Does Design|Probe|Add net do what you want?
