Routing Systems

Routing Systems: General
Measure Distance
A Distance measurement with Type of Points on Curves or Routing Path Length gives you distance between points on a set of curves or the length of a routing path.
USE:
Use Measure Distance to get the information about the length of a path.

Minimum bend radius spline violations

A new design rule capability highlights specific violation locations for splines
violating the minimum curve bend radius design rule.

USE:

Use this new capability to find the exact location of sharp corners on splines
to help edit or eliminate the problem.

Smart Router: Quick Path

Quick Path automatically creates a collision free path between two specified
locations, and optionally, through specified intermediate locations. The
resulting path comprises lines and arcs, but not splines, and avoids obstacles
by a specified clearance value. You can adjust the path for the final desired
path.
USE:

Use Quick Path to avoid manually creating a collision-free non-trivial path
between two locations.
