Allegro - Tip of the Week: Route Cleanup

PCBTech
PCBTech over 2 years ago

For detecting scenarios such as non-ideal pad entry, short segments, 90-degree corners, or non-arc corners, consider the Route Vision application.

The Vision Manager displays selected nets or segments as a result of an analysis or DRC using color codes.

First, enable the Vision Manager (View > Vision Manager). Then, in the Options pane, select the “Visions” tab and pick Route Vision from the pull-down menu.

Configure your settings and then click OK to invoke the command.

    Love the tip! We are operating on Standard edition, is this only a function in the Professional version? I only see "No Vision" in the dropdown on the Visions page

    Yes, the Vision Manager utility is available in the Orcad PCB Designer Professional license only. It is not available in the Standard license.
