hello, i believe i've discerned a problem (feature?) involving the autorouter and the design rules check. if i roll a schematic onto a pcb, and then place a no net trace on the board thats attached to nothing, the autorouter is blind to it but the design rules checker picks up on it. correct?
why would i even place a trace like that? i didn't. its just an example. actually, after the schematic was shuffled over to the pcb, some extra pads, vias, and traces were added for high-speed considerations. the autorouter appears to not see them, and walks right over them. am i correct? if yes, then my question is why? the autorouter plays off the design rules, doesn't it? so why can't it see what the design rules checker sees? i'm in a serious eye-opening mode here. i'm going to have to rethink my design process. thanks, miker * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
