Which interactive router mode allows you to manually adjust the path of a trace while automatically avoiding obstacles?
Think about the mode that lets you push other traces aside automatically.
Push and shove mode lets you manually route traces while the software automatically moves other traces to avoid collisions.
You need to route a trace through a very congested PCB area with many existing traces and vias. Which interactive router mode should you use to efficiently complete this task?
Consider the mode that helps you move obstacles automatically while routing.
Push and shove mode is best for congested areas because it automatically adjusts other traces to make room.
While using the interactive router in push and shove mode, you notice that some traces do not move when you try to push them. What is the most likely cause?
Think about what prevents traces from moving.
Locked traces or locked layers cannot be moved by the router, even in push and shove mode.
Which visualization best shows the effect of push and shove mode on a congested PCB area?
Consider how push and shove mode helps routing by moving traces.
Push and shove mode visually moves existing traces aside to make room for the new trace.
In a PCB design tool, you want to model the push and shove router mode behavior using a data structure. Which approach best represents the dynamic movement of traces during routing?
Think about how traces relate and move relative to each other.
A graph structure allows modeling adjacency and dynamic updates needed for push and shove behavior.
