To display the Net Group Manager dialog, select E-Nets or power and ground nets in the Signals tree in Constraint Browser, and click on the toolbar. Alternatively, click Edit > Net Group Manager on the main menu. Alternatively, right-click the selected items in the Signals tree and select Net Group Manager.
