Equi-Spacing Traces
This option lets you set the spacing between traces to be equal.
Complete the following steps to equi-space traces:
1.
Select two traces that surround at least one other trace, as shown in the
figure below.
2.
Select
Tools»Equi-space Traces
. The spacing between the traces is
made equal, as shown in the example in the figure below.
Note
The selected traces must be between two objects (that is, two pins, two traces); initial
spacing between traces must not be equal; traces must belong to a net in the same layer.
Rubber-banding does not work with this feature, hence some traces may become
disconnected.
Deleting a Trace
Traces can be deleted like other objects. When you delete a trace, you are
not asked to confirm the deletion, but you can undo the deletion by
choosing
Edit»Undo
immediately after making the deletion.
Note
Depending on your setting in the
PCB Design
tab of the
Preferences
dialog box,
vias associated with a trace will be deleted when that trace is deleted.
