Capture CIS Back Annotation

[scorpyann]

Anybody know how to do Capture CIS back annotation like something on the pics. After route the pins on the allegro, back annotate on the capture will automatically assign the channel pin name/number. Do we need something like script to be able to do this process?

First off you wont be able upload net list to Allegro if your pins in CIS is not numbered or symbols missing ref des.
But it is possible to back annotated from Allegro to CIS provided that you have your folders setup properly and have all three files that generated from CIS to allegro.
In addition if you want to swap pins or gates in Allegro you should create your CIS symbols with swappable pins property added.

Anyway, I'm able to do the pin swapping, but the problem is when I do it, the pin is actually moving from it current location. How to make the net name/offpage connector swap instead of the pin.

Anyway that was not your original question.
