I was also aware that you could also have different requirements for current carrying capacity - if different layers used different copper weights. There are also different DRC rules on certain objects on inner layers for some fabs IIRC. Perhaps this ought the be encompassed in a "smart" route-style which has different settings for different layers. That would make assigning one route-style to one net much more practical. You (and the auto-router) wouldn't have to switch styles when switching layers etc.. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
