Routing causes crash

stellar

I'm doomed and standing out on the ledge ready to leap. I've got a board I've been working for a few weeks with no problems. I've fabricated it twice in fact. Now I can't autoroute and after it goes through all the passes the route status window goes blank then nothing happens in the design screen. I check processes and it's crashed so I kill it. When I try to restart it I get a license error so have to reload the license server. I tested Editor on another design and it routes fine so there is something evil in this design.

     This is irritation but I disabled all the nets in the design except for the new nets and it routed fine. Somehow it gets itself in a knot and can't recover when all the nets are enable???

    Hi

    When you have all the nets selected the router attempts to reroute all of those connected nets. The better option is to just selected the unrouted nets.

     Yes it actually doesn't crash it just takes a long time to work through it and I was not allowing enough time. Regarding the nets that aren't enabled the router will still shove them if necessary or is there a setting that needs to be enabled on those nets to allowing that?

    Hi,

    As long as they are not protected the router will shove and move routed traces to get the unrouted nets connected. If you do not want them ripped up during reroutes but will allow them to be shoved you can soft protect the already connected nets.  Use the Edit>[Un]Protect menu to select and apply the soft protect.
