Shortcuts
Unroute All Nets
Default Keys: None
Default Menu: Tools
Command: Unroute All Nets
This is available from the Unroute Nets > option on the Tools menu. It is used to unroute all tracks on all nets in the design.
Unroute Browse Nets
Default Keys: None
Default Menu: Tools
Command: Unroute Browse Nets
This is available from the Unroute Nets > option on the Tools menu. It is used to unroute all tracks in the nets chosen using the Browse Nets dialog.
Unroute Selected Nets
Default Keys: None
Default Menu: Tools
Command: Unroute Selected Nets
This is available from the Unroute Nets > option on the Tools menu. This will unroute all tracks on the selected nets within the design. Nets are considered to be selected if any item in the net (track, pad, via, etc) is selected.
Note: Unroute Select Net can be used in Latched Mode allowing nets to be unrouted simply by picking them.
Unroute Track Segments
Default Keys: None
Default Menu: Context menu
Command: Unroute Track Segments
This option is available whilst using Select Mode, either as a command assigned to a key or from the context menu. All selected track segments and any track segments attached to selected items (component, pad, copper, etc) will be unrouted. All other track segments will not be altered. It does not unroute other unselected track segments connected to the net.
This may be used to unroute part of a track prior to re-routing it. It can also be used on a selected Component to unroute all segments attached to that Component.
Unroute Track Path
Default Keys: None
Default Menu: Context menu
Command: Unroute Track Path
This option is available whilst using Select Mode, either as a command assigned to a key or from the context menu. The track which contains the selected segment and other tracks joined to this track with a via, and so on, forms the “Track Path”. This whole path is unrouted. Also, if an item is selected that has tracks attached (component, pad, copper etc), all track paths attached to the selected item will be unrouted. It will not unroute the whole net though, just the immediate track path.
