route_objective

APR.device.route route_objective cyclic { "Wire length" | "Vias" }

Description

Specifies how the routing algorithm evaluates the quality of a solution. This is adjusted to assist the router to find solutions with different topologies.

• Wire Length: When specified, solutions that use more vias but less wire are favorable.
• Vias: When set, solutions that use fewer vias but more wires are favorable. This is the default option.
