Hi Carl:
 
If someone is autorouting with the current Orcad Layout are they also
autorouting with Spectra?

These days they are one in the same in the old days allegro used to have its
own router called insight I believe, then Cadence bought Valid which owned
allegro and bolted the PRANCE router onto it, then developed their own
router Prevail which was pretty darn good and canned that and then bought
CCT and bolted the CCT router (Specctra) on it and that was nearly 10 years
ago and they still haven't completely integrated the tool, well at least the
way I would like it integrated. So bottom line here is if you are auto
routing with allegro and you haven't purchased a 3rd party auto router then
you are routing with Specctra.

I have been curious about the auto routers and confused by why there is an
Allegro router and Specctra router.  Can someone tell me the difference or
why there are two? 

I probably will just stick to manual routing but they would be fun to know
more about and possibly give a try.

Tom, 
  
The auto-router built into Allegro is the Specctra router.   Many folks
regard it as the best in the business for auto-routing.  In addition to
auto-routing it has excellent interactive route editing capability too.  I
find that there are some things I like doing with the Specctra route editor
and others with the Allegro route editor.     
  
Regards,

Hi George: 
  
The router that is built into Allegro is it a good one? Is it the one they
use in Orcad Layout? 
  
Best regards,
