[PCB_FORUM] Re: resetting line widths to default...

You know. This was one of the settings in Exhibition that I
really liked. When you went to change line widths there was
a setting for "set to drc value".
I must have used it 100 million times. I think we ought to
be bugging Cadence to add this. How hard could it be, after all? It would be so much easier than the hoops
we need to jump through now.
And while we are at it go ahead and add minimum, and maximum
line widths to the drc, too.
Might as well get it all done at once!

Hi Andrew,

You are right, it is there.  Thank you.  I never thought to look for a SKILL
routine to do this, I figured this should be do-able in the program it self,
and I know I can by selecting them individually and I'm sure at least a few
other more efficient ways.  I guess I can select, using constraints manager,
all the nets that aren't part of a group (thus all the default nets), and
apply a width change to them all that way.  Hum, sounds like a winner.  I'll
have to learn more about SKILL routines, now that my proficiency with
Allegro is growing rapidly.

Regards,

Austin

Austin... Funny you should mention this; I'm using this skill program at
this moment. Do you know if you have the 'cwidth.il' program?
It's a great tool (a little slow on large numbers of clines), but will
identify all cline widths on a per-layer basis, and allow you to make
global changes to another line with, again on a per layer basis.
Check it out. It should be part of the package of programs found on
Sourcelink.

Hi,

I am working on a board that is a re-spin.  I've changed the line
widths,
both default and made new line width rules for specific groups.  My
default
width is 3.99...but nets in the default group route at 4.57, 8 and other
misc. line widths, apparently from the previous spin.  How can I reset,
say,
the default group line width to apply to all the nets not in another
group?

Having a line width of 8 on a net that has a rule of 3.99 and a min of
3.99
(no max can be specified) does not create a DRC error, obviously...so it
isn't obvious on some of the nets that they aren't following the new
default
rule.

Thanks,

Austin
