Mark,
This is a great thread with lots of tips.
You don't mention whether you're working off a network drive or locally (or if
you did, I missed it). Obviously, if you are working on a network drive, try
moving the board file to your local machine. If that is not an option, there is
an env variable you can set that will cause Allegro to keep some "temp" files
it writes local rather than on the network drive. I have this set in our
standard env file and it helps a little.
set shape_local_temp = C:/tmp

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone there would have any tricks to speed up Allegro.
I am editing a board with quite a few Constraints in the V.16.3 CM.
Whenever I slide a trace, move a via or any mod, it hangs up for 30 sec
each time.
I have tried changing global shapes params from smooth to rough and even
disabled.
Short of turning off On-Line DRC, which I do not want to do.
Many DRC's to clean up.
Mark
