Reg: OFFSET GRID MOVEMENT OF PARTS IN ALLEGRO16.6

girish
Hi,

In Allegro 16.6 while moving components its not jumping between grids giving smooth movement regardless of grid then after placing quickly
aligning to near by grid . Is there any setting I need to do for movement of components as it was in 16.3 ?
eg for more clarity : I have set 39.37mil grid to place same pith BGA ,but while moving BGA , its pad not picking grids showing smooth offset grid movement

Regards,
Girish Kumar

    This is a reported issue with 16.6 after a "slide" operation, you will need restart PBC Editor to get this to cleared back to "gridded".

    Oh.Then I need to wait for hotfix update Crying face.
     
    I hope below issue also related to tool bug
     
    1. While keeping the command in idle mode on PCB editor & selecting say some 10 components on linked schematic , respective parts will be highlighted on the board file .Then if I click move all highlighted parts will be moved this was happening in old 16.3 , but not working on 16.6  & then we need to manually de-highlight the parts which was temp highlighted on layout
    2. Swapping of components not happening between manually placed parts & imported components
     
    Thanks for the reply . Is the any cadence source I can get  to know the reported bug ?

    2. Swapping of components not happening between manually placed parts & imported components  throwing an error “Symbol and layer embedding requirements do not match.”

    Yes both items are known issues. For the cross probing launch PCB Editor from within Capture (via the netlist create) then close and re-open PCB Editor and you should be able to cross probe / place.
