Trim Trace length
This feature allows inserting pattern of segments into selected trace in order to obtain specified length. The shape of the pattern, its amplitude and step length may be set as parameters for calculation of necessary number of steps.
Select this function tool and click on the net in which length is to be trimmed.
The selected trace is highlighted and the trim trace length window shows information regarding the trace properties and trimming parameters.
Set the trimming parameters and select the suitable point in the trace where the pattern should be inserted.
The pattern which is generated according to currently set parameters is visible and follows cursor while it is moved along the trace.
Parameters may be adjusted during this time until permanent insertion is confirmed by the mouse click.
Trim two traces to same length
This feature allows trimming of two traces to same length by inserting pattern of segments into selected trace in order to obtain specified length. The shape of the pattern, its amplitude and step length may be set as parameters for calculation of necessary number of steps.
Select this function tool and click on the first trace for length equalizing, The selected trace is highlighted in blue and a property window with the trace property appears.
Click on the second trace which is to be equalized .The selected trace is highlighted in white and the Equalize length of two traces property window appears with the longer and shorter trace properties and trimming parameters. Set the trimming parameters and select the suitable point in the trace where the pattern should be inserted. The pattern (generated according to currently set parameters) is visible and follows cursor while it is moved along the trace.
Parameters may be adjusted during this time until permanent insertion is confirmed by the mouse click.
Trim net connection length
This feature allows trimming of net connection by inserting pattern of segments into selected trace in order to obtain specified length. The shape of the pattern, its amplitude and step length may be set as parameters for calculation of necessary number of steps.It is possible to see how changing of length and average trace width affects net’s electrical properties (resistance, capacitance, inductance and impedance)
Select this function tool and click on the net whose length is to be trimmed.
The selected net is highlighted and the trim net connection length window appears showing information regarding the net properties, electrical properties and trimming parameters.
Set the electrical properties and trimming parameters then select the suitable point on the net where the pattern should be inserted. The pattern (generated according to currently set parameters) is visible and follows cursor while it is moved along the net.
Parameters may be adjusted during this time until permanent insertion is confirmed by the mouse click.
