Mike, You can not refresh modules with allegro studio, but can with expert not sure about designer. Supposedly Studio performance is the same as designer. I have studio performance and can not refresh modules which is a major pain in the neck I have no issues with placement as a matter of fact placement really save time in replicated reuse modules. Routing is quirky on allegro when you leave dangling traces to connect at the top level. Split planes are supported but sometimes nets don't get instantiated properly to the shape. No issues with ATE or Pick and Place. I can give you a lot more details feel free to call me. I wrote a paper with Gopi Rudra (Cadence Orcad Developer) on this topic and presented it at last years ICU conference. This is the kind of material and education you can get from attending the ICU conferences. It is not to late to sign up for this years! http://www.cadenceusers.org/conferences/current/CFP.html ************************************************************ * Carl T.

I have modules working with Orcad10/Allegro15.1 but is anyone using them for place/route/Split planes/ATE? And does anyone ever 'refresh' the modules ? Appears in need of a strict process control but then again what doesn't ! Regards, Mike Barham _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
