Checking Track Width Errors for Pin Pairs

This topic outlines the procedures for checking and adjusting the track width of pin pairs that you select on the canvas. For further information, see: Pin Pair Width Check.

Checking the Track Width of Pin Pairs

1. On the ribbon in eCADSTAR PCB Editor, select Report > Design Rule Checking > Pin Pair Width Check. This toggles on the Pin Pair Width Check command.
2. If not already selected, select a track on the canvas. The Width Errors (Pin Pair) dialog is displayed. If there are track width errors for pin pairs in the track, then they are listed.
3. If you select a row in the Width errors table, then the canvas is zoomed to show the selection. The current layer is changed to the layer of the selected track. If multiple rows are selected, then it is changed to the most common layer. Select multiple rows using the CTRL or Shift keys, or by dragging the cursor.

Adjusting the Track Width of Pin Pairs

1. If an error is shown in the Width Errors (Pin Pair) dialog, then select it to display the relevant track segment on the canvas.
2. Select Exit on the assist menu to toggle off the Pin Pair Width Check command.
3. If the track is within a trunk.
4. Launch the Regulate Trunk command by clicking Net / Route > Routing > Regulate Trunk on the ribbon.
5. Click the track segment, and then select Update Widths/Spacings on the assist menu. This allows you to ensure that the trunk follows an assigned topology template.
6. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog.

4. If the track is not within a trunk, you must unroute it and then re-route it using the correct track width.
5. Toggle on the Pin Pair Width Check command.
