Bus routing in Allegro PCB Designer

dontknowwhy
dontknowwhy over 5 years ago

Hello, i am a student studying allegro pcb designer.

I have trouble in routing a bus. I think all of channels in a "bus" must have same( or very similar) characteristics so that they must be routed in a same topology (very close paths).

I just realized the way how to make a bus and add channels in the bus. However, i can't route them together simultaneously. 

I want to know the exact meaning of "bus" and how to route a bus simultaneously. 

Thank you for reading a long boring question, and i am waiting for a valuable answer.

    BUS is a collection of nets. Cadence PCB tools have made PCB routing very easy over the years. select the group of nets - add connect and you can route them (it is called group routing)

    Oh, thanks for reply. It is useful for me.

    On the other hand, does "bus" mean just a collection of nets? Just selecting the group of nets and connect them with function "add connect" has nothing to do with "bus".

    I want to know if there are more functions that can be done with "bus".

    Thanks a lot again and i will be waiting for reply.
