1 无论哪个版本都经常出现自动退出,提示为非法操作,然后不能存盘,自动退出。(ALLEGRO)
(出现这种情况,主要是操作系统方面的原因,ALLEGRO要求在英文NT或 WINDOWS 2000下使用.在中文WINDOWS 2000下,出错概略提高许多。事实上,设计人员应充分使用Allegro的Autosave功能,以避免各种情况下引起的数据丢失。提示:Allegro在异常退出时,会在当前设计目录下产生一个后缀为sav的文件。用Allegro打开该文件,另存为brd文件即可)
2在ALLEGRO中,编辑焊盘时,经常会出现“执行程序错误”而退出程序,且没有备份文件,导致之前的工作白费。
(此问题14.1已经解决,而且同样与操作系统有关)
3 在从自动布线器(SPECCTRA)建军回到ALLEGRO后,输出表层的线、孔就与器件成为一个整体,移动器件时,线、孔就附在上面一起移动。
(实际上,这个功能是Cadence应大多数用户要求而添加上的,主要是为了方便移动器件的时候fanout后的引腿和via能跟着一起移动。如果你实在不愿意这么做,可以执行下面这个Skill程序解决,以后版本将会有选项供用户选择:
; The following Skill routine will remove invisible
; properties from CLINES and VIAS.
; The intent of this Skill program is to provide
; users with the ability of deleting the invisible
; properties that SPECCTRA/SPIF puts on. This will allow the moving
; of symbols without the attached clines/vias once the
; design is returned from SPECCTRA if the fanouts were originally
; put in during an Allegro session.
;
; To install: Copy del_cline_prop.il to any directory defined
; within your setSkillPath in your
; allegro.ilinit. Add a "load("del_cline_prop.il")"
; statement to your allegro.ilinit.
;
; To execute: Within the Allegro editor type "dprop" or
; "del cline props". This routine should
; only take seconds to complete.
;
; Deficiencies: This routine does not allow for Window or
; Group selection.
;
; WARRANTIES: NONE. THIS PROGRAM WAS WRITTEN AS "SHAREWARE" AND IS AVAILABLE AS IS
; AND MAY NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED IN ALL ENVIRONMENTS. THERE IS NO
; SUPPORT FOR THIS PROGRAM.
;
; Delete invisible cline/via properties.
