     There are some circumstances when the autorouter is stopped before the proper clean-up passes are run where you will see intersections.
    Can you please give a detailed list of how you started the autorouter from your design?

     Ok, its been a few years since I had the opportunity to use this.

     But, "clean" and "critic" are two commands you may want to run after the route.  Clean works differently than the normal route routine and multiple passes can be run.

     

    Critic removes all DRC proximity and net short errors before you bring the layout back to Orcad in a single pass.
