You can invoke this variable by either entering, set smo_hs_smooth full , in the Allegro console window or by adding it to your env file. Randy Randy Bye PCB Engineering > UNISYS , Imagine it. Done.

If you first set the env variable: " set smo_hs_smooth full " it will also attempt to smooth nets that have min length constraints, but will not create DRCs as a result of the smooth. Or at least that has been my experience. Randy Randy Bye PCB Engineering > UNISYS , Imagine it. Done.

Yes, like you, I am familiar with many if not all of the glossers shortcomings. And yet it seems an essential part of the tool. Especially with the specctra router working the way it does. Why do we put up with this nonsense? I hope that some cadence person is monitoring this thread and can update us as to whether this is being addressed. Thanks for the response.

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! > > Carl > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kevin McCowan [mailto:kmccowan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 8:11 AM > To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: glossing diff pairs > > > No. No. No. > That is not the answer I want. > 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.
