Select - Select Matching Planar Polygons

Select - Select Matching Planar Polygons opens the Selection Matching Planar Polygons dialog box that allows you to select planar metal polygons which share characteristics of your choosing. This dialog box is very similar to the Metalization Properties dialog box. Refer to the Planar Polygon Properties dialog box for definitions of the parameters. For example, you want to select all copper polygons; this dialog box allows you to do so.

If you select this command when there is no metal polygon selected in your circuit, the Select Matching Metal Polygons dialog box is opened with the value ''Any'' in all the input fields. ''Any'' functions as a wild card. Select the desired values for the fields which you wish to match.

If one or more metal polygons are selected in your circuit when you invoke this command, the Select Matching Metal Polygons dialog box is opened using the values of the selected polygons. If you then wish to remove one or more of the fields from consideration, enter the value ''Any'' or leave the entry blank for that field.

When you click on the OK button, any polygons in your circuit which contain the specified parameters are selected.

Select via polygons with the same metal name also: Click on this checkbox if you wish to select all vias whose metal shares the characteristics specified in this dialog box.

Select non-matching polygons: Click on this checkbox if you wish to select all polygons in your circuit which do NOT have the properties specified in this dialog box.
