Bill,

I still have 16.01 installed so I believe I am going to "down rev" the
board and continue on with 16.01 until this issue is fixed.  

The only other way that I know to get around this in 16.2 is to set the
"acon_no_impedance_width" property in user preferences, route, connect.
If this option is on, impedance rules will have no effect on the trace
width in add connect.  You will have to use a external impedance
calculator (online or purchased) to calculated your trace\space values
for diff. pairs and apply those values in the constraint manager for
each layer accordingly.  It's a little more work but it will do.

Interesting...that is my situation as well  (PCB Perf L).

Hi Ed,

I have upgraded to the latest ISR.  I have been working with Tech
Support and as it turns out, it is a bug that is supposed to be fixed on
the next ISR.  It's only a problem if you don't have any of the SI
licenses installed with 16.2.  We are using Allegro performance option L
with no SI licenses.

Mike,

Can you try upgrading to the latest 16.2 ISR? A hotfix was issued for
this problem on Dec 20th.

Hello All,

Just upgraded to 16.2 and when I try to chance the impedance value in
the cross section menu, it is stuck on 60 ohms.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!
