► Learn more about Glossing & Retracing of Existing Routes What is ActiveRoute?ĪctiveRoute is an automated interactive routing technology that delivers efficient multi-net routing algorithms, which is applied to the specific nets or connections you select. Glossing also has its own set of options, including the ability to curve the routing corners.
Glossing defaults to on and will run when ActiveRoute completes - this can be disabled in the PCB ActiveRoute panel if required. These can be used to improve the quality of any existing routing, regardless of how it was created. This is the challenge that ActiveRoute sets out to achieve.Ĭomplementing, but separate to ActiveRoute are the Glossing and Retrace features. The holy grail of PCB routing is to quickly produce high-quality results, that meet the design rules, under the control of the designer.
They fail to correctly consider the myriad of subtle design constraints that a human designer instinctively applies as they route.While the rules system handles the design constraints, such as the widths, via sizes, clearances, and so on, it is down to the designer to place the many thousands of track segments required to fully route a board.Īutorouters can ease this pain but are generally regarded as inadequate because: One of the most time-consuming phases of board design is routing the nets.
