We usually make it slightly under the gap. For instance, on a recent board the gap was 9 so I made the minimum line spacing 8.9 -----Original Message----- From: Randy Faucette [mailto:BetterBoards@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 5:46 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Diff Pair behavior ... They are right, but they are wrong too ??? I assume that value is the same as the primary gap then? CM won't let me put in the value of the primary gap ... Error is "Min Line Spacing may not be larger than Gap Less (-) tolerance." I don't have any tolerances set. Ideas? -Randy -----Original Message----- From: Chris Brennan [mailto:Chris.Brennan@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 5:33 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Diff Pair behavior ... They are right, but they are wrong too ??? Hi Randy. You seem to have everything setup correct wit the exception of the Min Line Spacing in CM. If you leave that value blank you will get the line to line errors from your Net_Spacing_Type constraint. Hope this helps. CJB Chris Brennan, C.I.D.

They are right, but they are wrong too ??? Hey Allegro-ers, I'm getting some odd behavior with Diffs in 15.2. I may be confusing myself with how it was handled in v14??? I have the primary width and gap as well as neck width and gap set in the constraint manager. I need to have a diff to diff separation as well. I have that as a line to line spacing in a Net_Spacing_Type and have the assignment table correct. When I route the diffs, the correct line widths and gap (primary and necking) appears. As soon as I finish the route, DRCs pop up all over the place with a line-line violation. The diffs are routed correctly, but the DRC says is should be the line to line spacing from the line-line set in the net_spacing_type. Why am I getting DRCs if all is correct as defined in the constraint manager and how do you control the diff to diff min spacing? Thanks to all in advance! -Randy ----------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe/unsubscribe: Send a message to icu-pcb-forum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of subscribe or unsubscribe To view the archives of this list please login at //www.freelists.org.
