OPTIMIZE

Function

Joins wire segments together.

Syntax

OPTIMIZE;
OPTIMIZE signal_name ..
OPTIMIZE *..

Mouse

Right button executes the command for the group.

The OPTIMIZE command joins wire segments which lie in one straight line. The individual segments must be on the same layer and have the same width. This command is useful to reduce the number of objects in a drawing and to facilitate moving a complete track instead of individual segments.

If signal names are given, or a signal is selected, the command affects only the respective signals.

Automatic Optimization

This wire optimization takes place automatically after MOVE, SPLIT, or ROUTE commands unless it is disabled with the command:

SET OPTIMIZING OFF;

The OPTIMIZE command works in any case, no matter if Optimizing is enabled or disabled.
