relative propagation delay problem

Hello,

I am trying to do testing of relative propagation delay feature in PCB editor 16.3. I have prepared very simple *.brd example file where are 3 resistors and 3 nets only. I am trying to autoroute that example to get all 3 nets the same electrical length in tolerance 20 mil. I am able to do it by Constraint Manager "Min/Max Propagation Delays" settings but I am not able to do that by "Relative Propagation Delay" settings. I tried Match Groups etc. but no success. Can anybody try to do that - example *.brd file I put here:

rapidshare.com/.../tst1.brd

Please send successfuly routed *.brd file back or give please advice how to do.

Thanks a lot!

I don't think that you have the Relative Propagation Delay DRCs enabled, hence PCB Router won't consider the Relative Propagation Delay rules. In Constraint Manager, Analyze>Analysis Modes, Electrical Modes, enable "Relative propagation delay", or "All on" to get the DRC enabled, the the Relative Propagation Delay will be matched by the router.
