Hello all, I have tried this both ways and like others have said the best place to teardrop is the Fab house. If you choose to teardrop in the database I've found that you can't distingush the allegro added teardrops from dangling lines in past versions. It also adds multiple steps of glossing and unglossing when touching the database. GE HealthCare Technologies _______________________________________ Richard Van Os, C.I.D.

Hi, In allegro 15p2, Using 'Route'>'Gloss'>'fillet and delete fillet' easily you can add & delete the teardrops selectively & globally for vias, Pins.

Hi, I agree totally that the fab house are best placed for DFM actions in the absence of an analysis tool like Valor Enterprise. If one is faced with reworking teardrops in allegro simply delete clines with the property of 'fillet'. Then teardrop again prior to release.
