Summary
Returns component objects whose Component Type property is either Net Tie, or Net Tie (In BOM). These components are used to short two or more different nets together. They are always synchronized between the schematic and PCB (the footprint, pins/pads and net assignments must all match). Net Tie (In BOM) type components are included in the BOM, while Net Tie type components are not. They differ from a Standard component in that connectivity created by copper within the footprint is not checked - it is this copper that allows the nets to be shorted.
Syntax
IsNetTieComponent : Boolean/Boolean_String
