Nah, Nah Abdul Clear will not wipe out any of your work. Load the netlist again, run connect copper, run drcs. These four steps will outperform the synchronizer 1000 out of 1000 times. at least in 99SE. I also disagree with you the synchronizer works better for the following reasons: I use the netlist to trouble shooting errors, change footprints on the fly, find single nodes, we run utilities to find broken busses, find duplicate signals, broken nets, we run utilities to automatically ID pairs for paired routing so that we can extract a do file. I can also view gnds, Ana gnds , E gnds, etc and discuss gnd issues with my customers, if we both have a netlist. We even modify the netlist sometimes to make it connect to duplicate pins on BNCs, I have cut.pasted, and appended netlists. A netlist is very useful tool if nothing else. Like I mentioned it is the only port to third party tools. Just today, I had an EMI house require a specific breakdown of critical nets. I wont define critical here but you get the picture, I need a netlist to provide him the information. I cant provide this information on a system that is not netlist driven.
