I must have missed the announcement here that the independent ICU was being
dissolved in favor of a Cadence-controlled user group.  Hopefully the new
group will reflect the excellent support we all have come to expect from
Cadence.

Mike,

Your knowledge of Allegro is outside the package keepin.

I redid the property and it worked like a champ.

I had tried several combinations, couldn't get it.

Thanks for your help.

Dave.

PS: I went up to the ICU page. I had no idea that the User Group was
being "updated". Congrats on the Chair seat. Say Hi to Carl and Sue.


For any of the other users out there who don't get the the conferences....

Hey Dave..  Howz things..

I believe it is getting confused with the AD:AR
All Drivers/All Receivers in the pin pair field.

The delay rule could be used to DRC total etch length
in 11.X only when you had the pin pair field blank.

DELAY_RULE = ::2000:2500

This would convert to the following rule during uprev:

PROPAGATION_DELAY = L:S:2000:2500

With the PRE_12.0_DELAY_RULE env variable that
you have set it will check the rule the total length of the
net only when you have Longest and Shortest in the
Pin Pair field.

15.2

Anyone know why a DRC is generated when the entire
net length is correct?

The net length is supposed to be between 2000 and 2500 mils.

Probing the net gives --->Total Etch Length:      2280.31 MIL.
Very good.

When the DRC is probed, only a portion of the net is reported.
Actual value:     1032.65 MIL
Very Bad.

What up with that?

I did check the box for in the user setup for pre 11.x checking.

Thanks for the help.
