Strategy Point to Point Router
- Available in late Q3'04; Contact us for a beta version.
- Use it to add quick pre-routes.
- Use it for ECO route fixes.
- All routes are on the routing grid.
A sample of the point to point router can be found here. In this animated gif, the window on
the left is the design zoomed to the pin to be connected. The window on
the right shows the global view.
The next frame marks the pin to be routed to with the text "Route
Target". The following frame identifies the net wiring the router
should connect to with by hiliting the net and marking it with the text
"Net to hit". The next frames show the result of the route and mark the
route with the text "Completed Route". The test on the animation is not
created by the router. It was added for illustration. Note in this mode
of the router, only a single point was entered to identify the instance
pin to be routed. The router automatically identified route targets.
