Deleting route Keepouts

Les Wong over 9 years ago

Hi All:

When we delete route keepouts it takes a long time.

The same time as if we were manually deleting then in Allegro.

How can this be sped up ?

Thanks,

Les

It definitely takes a long time for : axlDBCloak('axlDeleteObject(_tList) 'shape)

Set the dynamic fill mode to nil. Obviously you will need to address this later.

axlDBControl('dynamicFillMode nil)

I noticed when I tried this out that a bunch of my symbols were fixed it was slower.

I tried Dave's suggestion, but I did not see any difference. 5 seconds both.

You probably already know you can add the ignoreFixed option to axlDBCloak:

axlDBCloak('axlDeleteObject(_tList) ('shape ignoreFixed))

Wow. That's a lot of route keepouts. I got a 10 fold increase in speed when I disabled dynamic fill mode (uncloaked) but I only had 850 keepouts. You may be running into some memory limitations.
