Usage Fix - Fanout Netname Fanout

The document outlines a procedure called 'fix_fanout_legacy' that adjusts the fanout of a specified net in a circuit design. It involves disconnecting existing instances, adding buffer instances to meet the required fanout, and reattaching the instances with the new buffers. The procedure includes checks for the current fanout and dynamically creates new instances based on the specified parameters.
