PADS Routing Solutions
Whether you prefer to route interactively, automatically, or with a combination of
both, PADS®Routing Solutions can get the job done right, quickly and accurately.
Overview
PADS® Routing Solutions feature efficient methodologies and native, any-angle and
diagonal routing algorithms that make it easy to produce high-density, high-quality designs
efficiently. Designers can choose from several PADS Routing Solutions:
• PADS AutoRouter - High-performance, any-angle autorouter
• PADS AutoRouter HSD - Tools for batch and interactive high-speed routing
• PADS Router - Shaped-based, gridless interactive route editor
• PADS Router HSD - Tools for interactive high-speed routing
PADS AutoRouter is the industry’s first true, angle-free auto-router. It is tightly integrated
with PADS Layout for fast, efficient layout and routing. By routing correctly from the outset,
PADS AutoRouter minimizes trace rework, reducing design iterations and getting newlydesigned
boards to fabrication faster.
PADS AutoRouter now works with the PADS Router interactive route editor. Two new
options, PADS Router HSD and PADS AutoRouter HSD, offer interactive and automatic
routing of length-constrained nets for efficient high speed design.
The ultra-fast, animation-quality graphics of PADS Routing Solutions enable fast and easy
review of board designs, while hierarchical project windows make it easy to see the relationships
among design elements.
