The attached skill script has worked on previous versions. I have not
tested on V16.*

 

The following Skill routine will remove invisible properties from CLINES
and VIAS. The intent of this Skill program is to provide users with the
ability of deleting the invisible properties that SPECCTRA/SPIF puts on.
This will allow the moving of symbols without the attached clines/vias
once the design is returned from SPECCTRA if the fanouts were originally
put in during an Allegro session. 

To install: Copy del_cline_prop.il to any directory defined
              within your setSkillPath in your
              allegro.ilinit. Add a "load("del_cline_prop.il")"
              statement to your allegro.ilinit.
 
To execute: Within the Allegro editor type "dprop" or
              "del cline props". This routine should
              only take seconds to complete.
 
Deficiencies: This routine does not allow for Window or
              Group selection.
 
WARRANTYS: NONE. THIS PROGRAM WAS WRITTEN AS "SHAREWARE" AND IS
AVAILABLE AS IS
             AND MAY NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED IN ALL ENVIRONMENTS. THERE
IS NO
             SUPPORT FOR THIS PROGRAM.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Sticky Vias, after auto routing 

 


  To all you people that have Allegro 16.whatever, has Cadence done
anything with the
sticky via behavior when moving a component after autorouting. Sometimes
it may be an advantage 
but other times it is somewhat aggravating ?
