My imediate use for recessing has to do with ridged flex riged boards. In one example we have a circuit board that has for example a ridged section on the right that has a connector, this section has to have one level of thickness. connected to this ridged is a section of flex, on the other side of

Wow, thanks for the quick responses ! > Does iverilog support SDF backannotation? The SDF has the delay > information. Ah ! Now you mention it, I remember removing a $sdf_annotate line from the generated verilog file. It was causing an error with vvp, so I just removed the offending line and q

If you edit the .pcb file and remove all the Rats[] entries (they're all at the end) it will at least load. However, all the layer information is missing, so you'll have to re-add all the layers and redefine the layer groups. Do you have a save file in /tmp, or in the same directory as the origi
