Hi Austin, We noticed that NET_PHYSICAL_TYPE and NET_SPACING_TYPE were missing from the net properties. These properties are used extensively throughout our designs. We also noticed that Allegro crashed every time when we plotted a drawing. Right now, 16.0 isn't right for us at this time. We're going to try to up-reving in the future when it isn't so busy.

Hi Dale, What features were missing in 16.0?

We have switched back to 15.7 because of all the crashes and a few missing features in 16.0.

We were crashing a lot and cadence told me to download the latest video driver because open-gl was causing the problem. After I downloaded the latest driver it is 90% better. ________________________________ From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sandra Brescia Sent: Friday, April 18, 2008 3:04 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Is anyone having Allegro crashing issues using SPB 16.1 and laptop computers? Yes, tons of crashes, Unix A16.01 Today's flavor routing diffs. Doing a study with lots of drc's I remember there being an issue once before regarding that, I wonder if it's a reborn enhancement? I've also seen this while using the shape functions create/modify/z-copy. -S [http://www.sun.com/emrkt/sigs/6d_top.gif]</home/sb142170/Mail/signatures/6d_top.gif> Sandra Brescia Sr. PCB Designer Sun Microsystems, Inc. 35 Network Drive Burlington, MA 01803 US Phone x22436/ 1.781.442.2436 Email Sandra.Brescia@xxxxxxx<mailto:Sandra.Brescia@xxxxxxx> rjbzxr@xxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:rjbzxr@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I'm running Allegro PCB 16.1 (latest ISR) on a Dell Precision M65 - have not seen many issues.

Is anyone having Allegro crashing issues using SPB 16.1 and laptop computers? Have received a few comments of Allegro 16.1 crashing with Dell M70 Laptops. Can anyone concur with similar problems ( or on any laptop)? If so, and better yet, do you know what may be causing this. I am using a Dell M60 laptop and have had no issues. But I have not yet started using the 16.1 release of software.
