How do you use meander on a trace that is not part of a differential pair?

"10 High-Speed PCB Design Rules to Follow" says that we should add meander to traces that carry high-speed signals that all need to reach their targets at the same time. Meander doesn't actually seem to work on signals that are not defined as differential pairs, though. I've got 8 clock lines that I want to length-match. How do I do this?

Hi @pblase,

 

I hope you're doing well. If you activate the meander command and click on a trace it will show you the current length. Go to the command line and type in whatever length you want then press enter. Now the trace will meander to that length.

 

Let me know if you run into problems.

Thank you, spent ages trying to figure out what the issue was and why the meander tool wasn't working and your reply solved my problem immediately
