etch length report without pin delays

Hi I need to generate an etch length report including z-axis without pin delays.  I tried unchecking the pin and z-axis delay options, but that doesn't do anything.

    You can enable/disable the Z Axis Delay by going to Setup>Constrainst>Modes>Electrical. Similarly, you can enable/disable the Pin Delay by going to Setup>Constrainst>Modes>Electrical.
    So, you can also enable the Z Axis Delay to have Allegro calculate the delay through a via in the Z-direction by enabling this option as suggested and disable pin delays as required.
    -You can also open CM and select Net>Routing>Min/Max Propagation Delays worksheet.
    -Right click on the Pin Delay column in yellow and select/deselect Use Pin Delay.

    Now, the Etch Length by Pin Pair report includes the Z-Axis delay and pin delays (depth of vias and pins) in the calculations for the report. The Etch Length by Net Report does not include these calculations. This is the default behavior of the tool.
    So, you can go to Tools>Quick Reports and use 'Etch Length by Pin Pair' report here to generate the etch length report to include delays and enable/disable to Z Axis Delay and Pin Delay as required.
