Kevin, I have had this problem with tool ever since I have been using I am on 15.2 and it isn't any better there either the gloss routine seem to have been left in the dust as it doesn't respect many of the high speed deign rules. I know you don't want to hear this but for that reason any net the I put rules on in constraint manager I put the NO_GLOSS property on. MY solution is lets put on the top 5 issues list and get Cadence to address it as gloss is in desperate need of a complete overhaul. Have you ever seen what it does to trace entry/exits to pads on dense SMD devices? I tell you I could do better with a burnt stick on a brick!

Somebody else try. And give me a solution I can use, please. But, really, that is the conclusion I came to after using this tool for umpteen years now. Shouldn't this be on the list of things that need fixing? I heard that they were going to get rid of the glosser or something like that. I wonder if they will replace it or make it happen in real time somehow. Or if I am crazy. Darn. Kevin Weinberg, Richard (Richard) wrote: > I've seen this too. I don't gloss diff pairs.
