Bill, Was the "use routed interconnect" checked or unchecked when you extracted the topology? I don't think the tool likes that. If you don't use that topology for simulation, single ended drivers are just fine for using. Create one side and apply to both nets.

(my single ended topologies are working just fine) Bill -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Julian Ungureanu (jungurea) Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 8:46 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: FW: [pcbforum] topology error with constraint manager 14.2 Under the Options menu on SigXp, uncheck the buttons that say "extract routed interconnect" before extracting the topology. On your SigXp canvas you should see TLines not Strip (or microstrip) lines. Then you can import into CM.

Interconnect must be represented with TLINES only. TRACES and VIAs are not allowed. I only have TLINES, resistors, capacitors and diff driver/receivers in the topology. Does anyone know what this is about? Does 14.2 support Differential topologies? thanks, Bill O'Leary CadEnhance LLC. ----------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe/unsubscribe: Send a message to icu-pcb-forum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of subscribe or unsubscribe To view the archives of this list please login at //www.freelists.org.
