Brad, John, Joop, Marty and Waldemar, I have still a small idea - what type of storage do you use? I always use Wndows file system. Could this influence this behavior? Are you using Protel database? Since this behavior, if it works right or not, is consistent on several machines for some of us,

Hi Georg, on our backplane we have some high-speed connectors for differential signals. The pads of those connectors have only a diameter of 0.7 mm and the drills are 0.3 mm. The lines connected to these pads have a width of about 0.2 mm. To make sure they cannot tear from the pads, our

This was my also impression, but for some reason I had an even stronger impression that the current router is not related to the Neuro Route product at all. I am not sure if I got this from a conversation a long time ago with Protel people (or ex-Protel people) or not. The old Neuro Route
