Continuous Path/Routing with Varying Width

canbaltaci

Hello,

I am using version IC6.1.6-64b.500.11.

In layout editor, I would like to create a continuous (metal) routing (or path) which consists of pieces with different width. When I create a routing by pressing "p", the width is the same for each sub-part of the continuous path. Would it be possible to have what I want?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Can

    Hi Can,

    I can do this by starting the wire, clicking where I want the width to change and then hitting F3 to bring up the options form and changing the width (which affects the new segment) clicking again, and so on. So I get:

    Is that the kind of thing you're after? I was trying in IC6.1.6.500.14 but it also works in IC617 ISR9 too (I think it's pretty likely it would work in ISR11 that you're using).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
