set_router_tax

set_router_tax
-wrongway f_wrongWayTax 

Description

Modifies the internal costs used by the router. These costs influence how the router routes wires.

Arguments

-wrongway f_wrongWayTax

Specifies the relative cost of using a wrong-way path to complete a connection versus using the preferred direction path and possibly additional ways. A real value greater than 0.0 and less than or equal to 100.0 can be specified, and represents a multiplier to the internal wrong-way cost set by the router. A tax greater than 1.0 tends to reduce the amount of wrong-way routing and increase the number of vias used. A tax less than 1.0 and greater than 0.0 tends to increase the amount of wrong-way routing used.

The wrong-way tax is recognized by the detail router.

Default: 1.0

Examples

The following example reduces wrong-way tax from the default value of 1.0, increasing the likelihood that wrong-way routing will be used to complete connections.

set_router_tax -wrongway 0.50
