Can't connect multiple traces to multiple vias

Seandever
Seandever over 2 years ago

Hello,

This is an issue I've been dealing with for some time and It's very annoying. I'd like to be able to connect a trace on L1 to a trace on L2 through multiple vias. However, Allegro automatically truncates one of the traces when I try to do this. Can someone tell me why the software does this and if there is a workaround? Please see attached image for reference. 

I realize I can work around this issue by creating a shape on one of the layers and a trace on the other, but I'd really rather be able to connect multiple vias to multiple traces.

Thanks,

Sean

    Without looking at your OPTIONS tab, it sounds like you might have "REPLACE ETCH" checked.  Allegro WILL let you do what you want to do but sometimes it tries to clean up your work for you.
