Differential Pair Resize and Respace

Avalex Steven

Is there a way to resize and re-space already routed differential traces other than re-routing them?  I've had to change my stack up late in the game and now need to adjust a large number of already routed differential pairs.

    Yes - look under the Route - unsupported prototypes menu for Resize/Respace Diff Pairs then follow the GUI. This won't change Constraint Manager so you can either change that first then run this or vice versa.

    You'll need at least an Allegro PCB Designer license to be able to do this. Maybe talk to your channel partner and see if you can get a trial license.
