Hey Dharma,

 

I've never used Altium, and haven't even used an autorouter for years.

 

But, the "10000" in the <MIL 10000> reference could be like when Allegro is
set up in Mils with an Accuracy of "1".

The "1" indicates the decimal point, and stands for a resolution of 1/10000
of an inch.

 

If you were to change the Accuracy in Allegro to "0" with mils as the unit,
that would stand for a resolution of 1/1000 of an inch.

 

Maybe the resolution is too high in either Altium or Spectra, try adjusting
one and/or the other.

 

Not sure if this helps, but something consider.

 

Good luck!

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] altium DSN to spectra error

 

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to load a dsn output from altium into the autorouter but I keep
getting the same error:

" Resolution value <MIL 10000> in your design file is too fine. The program
will not run do to possible arithmetic overflow. Please correct the
resolution value and rerun your job"

I assume this means it would rather see the design in inches however there
does not appear to be an inches output option in altium ( only MM and MILS).
Am I understanding this error correctly? If so have any of you encountered
this before?

Thanks in Advance,

Dharma
