Orthogonal pin exit with Mitering

rboaz
rboaz over 17 years ago

I'm using Allegro PCB Router 16.01, and the problem I'm having is as follows:

I want to keep all the wires coming out from pads and pins orthogonal (horizontal or vertical)

The routing goes fine (orthogonal only),but then when using the "miter" command all the pad and pin exits come out diagonal.  Is there a way to keep the pad and pin exits orthogonal, then after a short distance miter the corners to a diagonal?

    Hi

    You can control the exit of the traces in the Router by adjusting the pin and via exits.

    In the menu Autoroute>[un]Miter Corners make adjustments to the pin and via exits and you can also control the slants. If you access the help in the Miter GUI it has details on what the cohices control. Try a pin and via exit of 50, Slant of 25, bend of 50, 50. try it and see if you like the results. Make adjustments to suit your design. These settings can be added to a do file and reused on your next design.
