feature request.

Hi all,

 

after using Fusion Electronics for a while now I have feature request.


Wouldn't be nice for the route function to pick up the route code for existing routes.
Default is the last set width. 
A simple example would be power paths that normally are wider than standard routes.
I have a 3V route that is 0.5mm width and QFN micro that needs to be connected with 0.3mm
If I choose to route and click on an existing route - let's say the 3V line -  it would be nice that the width will set to 0.5mm automatically and when I click on a rubber band or any other existing route with a different route code that it will either fall back to default for the rubber band or pick up the route code of the new route automatically.
That will ease the process a lot!

Hi @Musti75,

 

I hope you're doing well. Check out the latest release of Fusion, if you set the ROUTE command to minimum or preferred it will automatically pick up the rule values of the net. In other words minimum and preferred settings are dynamic and they will adjust to whatever rules you have defined for the net.

 

I think this will address your request nicely. Give it a shot and let me know how you like it.

 

Best Regards,

The vertical yellow is what suppose to pick up the size of the existing route which is 1mm.
I have installed the current version:

Hi @Musti75 ,

 

I hope you're doing well. This is in fact a bug, shift+left click tells the router to use whatever the current width is but this isn't working with the minimum and preferred settings. If you have it set to any other setting then shift+left click will use the width of the existing trace. That may be a temporary work around for you. I'll get this reported.

 

Best Regards,

Thanks @jorge_garcia as long as the bug is not fixed shift + click is the nearest approximation of what I had in mind.
