Routing Tools for the layout Professional looking for accuracy, real-time DRC, and flexibility without limitations

Routing is CDS’s object based routing system that “hugs” objects with exact clearance, and speeds up the trace routing process.  

For Dense BGA, CSP and other package auto routing, please see "Autorouting Technology"

Key Features Include:

1. Easy differential Pair routing
   
   

2. Many types of length tuning
   
   

3. Trace segment sliding
   
   

4. Any angle advanced manual routing with on-line DRC, hugs objects and follows angles of originating pad
   
   

5. Complex stair vias for micro via technology
   
   

6. No limits to routing geometries
   

All forms of trace routing are accomplished with “power any angle” routing features like…

• Trace length Tuning using Accordions, Trombones or Arcs

• Real time DRC checking in the manual router

• Automatic and manual flex compatible tapers 

• Microwave corner Miters 

• Automatic filleting or chamfering of the whole design 

• Multi-layer routing command places vias with a double pick

• Uses trace widths read in from a schematic netlist and auto-senses which layer to route on automatically 

• Select 2 rat lines for differential pair routing (See a demo on Differential Pair)

• For hispeed routing, the system supports differential pairs, length matching

• Automatic length matching using Accordion Tuners of many nets simultaneously

• The routing system features drilled and build-up via technologies, with support for through hole, blind, buried, and stairstepped via constructions.

Ability to route traces by using polygon boundaries. This type of routing also facilitates the use of true arc and true RF mitered corners.
