I do not recommend target 3001. It is a cheap environment, but not very powerful, and not easy to work with. We use Expedition PCB, this does automatic routing with constant delay very well. I do not know if it's within the budget limits though.
Any design rule is created by yourself.EDA tools performed youe ideas. Good EDA tools can perfoem you design moer easy.I think Allegro is a good chioce.
Nearly all EDA tools have a facilty for matched track lengths within their design rules sets.
But I have never been able to keep the words 'cheap' and 'good' in the same description about any software.
If cheap is the key word and you define cheap as say less than $5,000 USD, you can forget PowerPCB, Cadence (allegro) or Expedition or even PCAD & protel actually
Hi to all,
I agree with j2356r about Cadence,Mentor Altium and so on... are very expensive !!!
However I tried Puls@nix and I have seen that it can do that !!
Puls@nix allow you to create a Net Class (e.g. Bus class) with Min-Max Track Length and quite interesting a Pin to Pin Track Length
(e.g. uP -- Length -- Memory -- Length -- Memory).
You can see the price on web (start with ~$2K for 1000pins)
u might wanna try Cadstar v6.0, its free to certain extend.
& free maintenance if ur buying the software....seems a powerful tool.

All PCB software comes with a cost depending on how u intend to use it long term investment. Sometimes its worth the cost coz u neve know when u'll need more of the functions when ur board become more complicated.
