Hi Steve,
 
   We are just getting into this ourselves. But have you clipped the
constraint areas. Also, have you exported the constraints from CM
and imported them into the module?
 
   There are just my thoughts, I have not applied them yet.
 
Buck...

        I am creating a module from an existing design. I have done the
following: 

        1, Read in the tec file from the existing board and imported it
to the Module. 
        2, Read in the new tel file to the module. 
        3, Took existing (board I want to copy from) and exported the
placement. 
        4, Read the placement into the module, that placed only the
components I needed for the module. 
        5, Clipped all the traces, vias and fills from existing board
from specific area. 
        6, Imported clip files to the module. 

        Now I notice all the traces are missing properties. I am necking
down inside fine pitch BGA's and I have a ton of trace width errors.
Does anyone know how to import the net properties to my existing module?


        I tried reading in the netlist with properties but not sure this
is the best way? 

        Thanks 
        Steve
