Drag trace not moving

DMLeone

I am picking this file up from someone else and the file they sent me has a setting i cannot locate. When i attempt to click on a trace to drag it, i cannot drag it, instead i gives me this error

W- (SPMHGE-480): No valid items selected for 'Flow Vertex Move'. Select a flow segment or via prior to invoking this command.

So i have to delete the line and rerun it. but i always get trace stepping because i cant figure out how to force allegro to either continue straight or bend a 90 at this point. it just does what it wants.

Anyone know they setting that prevents me from being able to drag a trace?

    you are correct sir. when i tried this before there was nothing selected in the find filter, i am still learning allegro this is my second run with it.

    there is still some setting that is messed up though. when i am in etch edit and find filter is set to CLine - it treats a click like a move and moves the trace, not what i want. when i chose CLine segs in the find filter, it allows me to click and drag, but not correctly. i know it will do what i want, my first run i did a project from scratch and it will do this. i also seemed to have had less application modes in my project then this one, but anyways.

    Scenario: i have a step in a trace at X-100 to move the trace from Y-100 to Y-200 at 45deg.

    What i want: To move the step simply to X-200 without moving the Y-location of the adjacent traces.

    What happens with etch edit and CLine segs: When i click and drag the step, it moves the step in both X and Y direction which causes more havoc and more steps since it is moving the location of the step in the Y-direction also. It does not simply slide the step along the traces keeping the adjacent traces fixed.
