I believe they are completely different routines. Custom smooth was developed for the APD package and was added on to allegro as a nice feature. You will notice that the NO_GLOSS property has no affect on custom smooth which can be annoying when you just want to smooth the entire board. But it does respect the fix property but the fix property has other issues. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Seymour [mailto:dave.seymour@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 9:25 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Smooth vs Gloss Does anyone have insight into why gloss and "Custom Smooth" give different results? I can run "smooth" on a "glossed" design and still see traces straighten out. Just curious.
