Equi-Spacing Traces

This option lets you set the spacing between traces to be equal.

Complete the following steps to equi-space traces:

1.

Select two traces that surround at least one other trace, as shown in the
figure below.

2.

Select Tools»Equi-space Traces. The spacing between the traces is
made equal, as shown in the example in the figure below.

Note

The selected traces must be between two objects (that is, two pins, two traces); initial

spacing between traces must not be equal; traces must belong to a net in the same layer.
Rubber-banding does not work with this feature, hence some traces may become
disconnected.

Deleting a Trace

Traces can be deleted like other objects. When you delete a trace, you are
not asked to confirm the deletion, but you can undo the deletion by
choosing Edit»Undo immediately after making the deletion.

Note

Depending on your setting in the PCB Design tab of the Preferences dialog box,

vias associated with a trace will be deleted when that trace is deleted.
