Hello all Allegro 15.7, Windoze XP. We first saw this problem several years ago, probably around 14.0 or 14.2. Every so often Allegro would rip up stitching vias on planes, just leaving one. Needless to say, this is not a good thing. It seems to be some 'gloss' function, but we never use it. It's totally random, although it always seems to be on outer layers. We're lucky this has never happened to a fab. It's always been spotted by some diligent CAD engineer before release. We submitted this to Cadence a long time ago but we can't repeat it. No solution was offered. Has anyone else ever seen this? (Example attached, png file.)
