rotating groups of routed components and keeping clines connected

Is it possible to rotate a group of routed components without losing the connections? Allegro doesn't like to route anything other than 45 degrees cleanly, so I group the parts, route, then rotate, but the clines keep disconnecting.

    As TiBo suggested, make sure you select User Pick from the Option Tab prior to selection so all the objects stay related when rotated.

    If you still see an issue - maybe there is some type of rounding occurring which is causing the cline and pin to end up slightly off.

    I would send in a support request to Cadence so they can have a look.  It is not normal for connections to be broken when routing circuits.

    Hope this help,

    In case this helps someone, was having a problem where using General Edit mode, moving a routed block would add a mess of clines that stretched from the original pin location to the new location.

    (EMA) helped me figure out that CircuitSpace uses the Allegro Fanout feature.  

    To resolve this:  Route>  Convert Fanout>  Unmark.

    No longer adds those extra clines for cleanup.

    I met the same problem that some clines become disconnected . Have you found the solution or just updated manually ?
