Hugging is one of those settings that does not have a single best answer. It can be useful during early passes to keep the autorouter from making a mess it can't route thru anymore. However, once a solution has been found it has little value and often hurts more than helps. That's why I turn Hugging to zero in later passes. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
