This issue is not DxDesigner issue. The issue is Cadence's "third party netlist in" it will only pass certain attributes to Allegro. The spec. Section 7 of the Allegro users Guide hasn't changed as long as I've been using Allegro. The only way around the cross probing that I know is a product from OHIO Design Automation.

For those of you interested, here are the questions I asked Mentor, and the answers they gave me: Q: Is there a datasheet available for the DxDesigner to Allegro interface? A: No, we do not have a datasheet for this option. Could you please get these questions answered about this interface as well: 1) Does it support crossprobing A: No. 2) Does it support decal preview A: No. 3) Can you use the DxDesigner Attributes Manager for entering/modifying constraints A: Yes. 4) What attributes does it pass to Allegro A: We don't have a list of the constraints/attributes. However, we have many customers using DxDesigner very successfully with Allegro. Keep in mind, they charge $2500 for this, and it appears it does little more than produce a netlist. Something that can be done by converting the PADS output...
