_____ From: Bill O'Leary [mailto:boleary@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 8:53 PM To: 'icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Relative prop delay I have used pin_delays for quite some time (although I'm using mentor now) When I was using them, I wrote a script to backannotate the symbol file with the pin_delays. The symbol file is the best place to put them because they will go into any schematic you place the part in. One Warning: The last time I used pin_delays, in a new release of 15.5 (and all versions before it) there was a problem With the CCT router using them effectively. I ended up having to convert the pin_delays to net offsets (or deltas in the CM). (I did this with a tool I wrote which wrapped around the packager) Pin_delays worked well within the normal Allegro Flow. I'm not sure if they fixed the AutoRouter yet.

We have allegro basis and allegro SI. While doing a ECO orcad automatically opens up Allegro basic, can I redirect this so SI will open as the default tool from orcad?

The import pin delay is only available in Expert. The option to use is only available in Expert. Running db doctor or analyze in Performance changes all the values so they are "Red" in CM, DRC count soars. I have not tried adding them in as pin properties in Performance. Regards, Gerry Note: It seems that some functionality is being removed from Performance. You used to be able to modify ecsets in Performance. Now you have to be in Expert to even change a value in the spreadsheet. You also can no longer audit ecsets in performance. -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <javascript:parent.ComposeTo(> [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <javascript:parent.ComposeTo(> ] On Behalf Of Austin Franklin Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 1:19 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <javascript:parent.ComposeTo(> Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Relative prop delay Hi Gerry, Well, keep in mind, I've gotten XNETs to work in Performance ;-) Were you basing what you said on some documentation or experience?
