Hi Robert,
I'm working on the length matching activities of Lesson 4 of Advanced PCB Layout. I am not having much success in manually adjusting the tracks to get the desired lengths while still maintaining the desired wave shapes. For example, I generate a nice wave using 45 degree angles, but when I try to adjust it, to add or subtract a little, I end up with an undesirable shape (e.g. 90 degree angles or non-symmetrical wave) or the wave I created totally collapses. Is there a trick to doing this? I played a little with the "routing gloss" feature, but that didn't seem to help much.
I am using a new version of Altium (20.1.8). There seems to be a lot of discussion in the Altium documentation about using the "interactive length turning", the "interactive diff pair length tuning" and the "equalize net length" commands. I am thinking that using these commands to generate accordians may be a better way to go than trying to manipulate these tracks manually. In your course you didn't really demonstrate these commands; maybe they weren't available at that time?
I don't want to spend the time researching the use of these commands if they are not the way to go. Please advise...
