I have a resistor layout that has two resistors in series plus two that are shorted. These have to remain as this is a metal change only.
The Assura run shows the shorted resistors in the schematic netlist but not for the layout. Is there a way to add a label to the layout to make these
a physical resistor for Assura?
 

Look for checkboxes about pruning / permuting in the
run options. I put in shorted spares all the time and
just make the schematic express the hookup, and all
is fine. What you don't want, is anything that "removes
shorted devices" enabled. Or, shorted devices have to
be equally ignored in the schematic. Adding a property

lvsIgnore='t'

to the schematic instances will do what you'd think.
 
Thanks for the help. The only option I had other than to use the lvsIgnore='t' in the schematic was to add a small metal resistor between the plus/minus of the shorted poly resistor. This worked as well.
