How do I select only objects with net names “Pwr_2324” and “Pwr_0010”?

Go to menu:   Edit > Selection > Filter
The selection filter is an extremely useful tool used for controlling the content of Objects that are selected prior to performing any modifications or queries. It can be a major time saver as it parses out Objects that do not pass certain requirement that you set.


1. Select Edit > Selection > Filter. A Selection Filter dialog box will appear.
2. Verify or Edit all Filter items. Select OK when complete.

Filter Name:
Save and reuse your selection filters. This feature drastically speeds up editing in between sessions.
Object Types:
For items with check boxes, a check means the item can be selected, removing a check means the item cannot be selected. By default all are checked.
Number/Ranges:
Items here allow you to include or exclude specific Dcodes, Layers, Composite Levels, or NC Tools from being selected. Enter numbers and/or ranges separated by commas as directed in the dialog box.
Names:
Items here allow you to include specific objects for selection based from matching names. Use a semicolon ‘;’ to separate names for Nets, Shapes, Components, and Attributes.

3. Select only objects with net names “Pwr_2324” and “Pwr_0010”, enter in the Nets field: Pwr_2324; Pwr_0010

 Cool Feature - Using Wild Cards: 
To Select all objects with nets that begin with “Pwr_”, just enter in the Nets field: Pwr_


Important: The Selection Filter is only good for one command (i.e. Window, Crossing, All, etc.). If you wish to select another Crossing
