Tom, The auto-router built into Allegro is the Specctra router. Many folks regard it as the best in the business for auto-routing. In addition to auto-routing it has excellent interactive route editing capability too. I find that there are some things I like doing with the Specctra route editor and others with the Allegro route editor. Regards, Randy Randy Bye PCB Engineering UNISYS , Imagine it. Done.
