Spectra Auto Router

VinCT
VinCT over 6 years ago

In the past I have used MakeDo to generate and edit my .do files. Unfortunately, it has been a couple of years since I needed it and my company let the license expire without notifying us. EMA Design Automation has discontinued its relationship with Dave Price and his web site contains non-working phone numbers. I did some searching on the net but could not find any more information on him or his product.

Does anyone know if Dave is still in business? If not is there a similar software package anyone here is using that works?

Thanks

    Thanks for the reply Steve. I found the web site too and the phone number was no longer in service. The email appeared to be inactive as well since I never got an answer. Send any info you here : f4face@netscape.net

    Thanks again for your help. Have a great day!

    Hi, there is a company called Konekt that make a look alike clone of Specctra the package is called electra. Last time i had looked at it, it didn't have edit route capability which imho is by far specctra's best feature.

    I believe MakeDo has been gone for some time. I found a webinar on youtube that EMA did on Autorouting called " How to make your autorouter work for you" The webinar provided very good info on creating do files and how to use taxing. Maybe check it out.

    MakeDO and SPECCTRA continue to grow and evolve. New versions of MakeDO are available.

    Our Website - www.BorntoRoute.com is being updated, sorry for the inconvenience.

    You can reach us at sales@BorntoRoute.com and me directly at davidp@BorntoRoute.com.

    For SPECCTRA Training and routing services, you can reach me at davidp@eAutoroute.com.

    Best regards,
