Push & Shove Routing

Interactive routing that automatically moves existing traces to accommodate new connections while maintaining design rules.

Intelligent technology that dynamically adapts the design during routing of new connections.

PCB tracing and layout

Purpose:

  • Intelligent automatic movement of existing traces when routing new ones
  • Significant acceleration of manual board routing

    • Capabilities and Features:

  • Routing with automatic obstacle avoidance
  • Modes: "avoid obstacle", "hug and push", "ignore obstacles"
  • Support for various routing angles (90°, 45°, any angle)
  • Compliance with design rules during routing
  • Real-time interactive routing with clearance consideration

    • Connections with Other Sections:

  • Closely linked with Design Rule Checker for design rule compliance
  • Integrates with PCB Editor as the primary routing tool
  • Interacts with High-Speed Design Tools for high-speed signal routing
