Need Help with Allegro PCB editor 16.2

HGarcia

Hello Everybody,

I need help for a PCB that I'm routing in Allegro PCB Editor 16.2. I'm routing a BGA breakout using arcs, but these arcs have to be with a specific raidus. I tried to use arcs w/radius and the arc generated appears in etch subclass but not as a Cline, because of that I couldn't connect it to a net. Also, I tried to route using arcs but I couldn't get the specific radius what I need. Is there a way to change lines to clines? or how can I route to get a specific radius?

 Thanks a lot.

    You can do this in 16.3 but you need to be on the latest hotfix and have an XL License or above, then type set snake_enable at the command line (you can use env to set this automatically).

     Once I type in set snake_enable - what am I doing? add connect line? as a line or arc?

     Thanks!
