Miter is used to change the path of a net or trace without adding more segments.

Note: Traces crowd in as close to the guide path as possible.

The animation below shows the use of QuickRoute Guided for single-layer traces and double layer traces . Note that traces crowd in as close to the guide path as possible.

Move the path of a net or trace . On the Schematic Design toolbar, click Rework > Miter, or on the PCB Design toolbar, click Rework > Miter .

Click to set a start point for the slice line on one side of the path or paths . Drag the cursor across the path , then click to set an end point.

Device fanout traces a short distance from each pad of the device, then drops a via.

It can also run traces from one layer to another.

Types of via stitching- Constant ground via stitching: This common type maintains a healthy return path and low resistance in the ground plane, ensuring shorter return paths from load devices to the power source.

A large number of vias might be deliberately allowed to avoid paths becoming blocked. TopRouter: If you use a routing variant with upstream TopRouter, the traces will be laid out with another routing algorithm, which tends to use less vias.

Display signal names on traces traces show signal names in 2D PCB or 3D PCB documents.

So it automatically takes care on Design Rules and avoids obstacles that are along the path of a trace . If the routing mode is set to “Ignore Obstacle” mode by clicking on the icon in the parameter toolbar, the user takes responsibility for all the Design Rules.

Trace allows you to machine 3D Edge contours.
