Tuning skew of traces with non-zero pad-to-die-length produces wrong results
Description
I'm trying to tune the skew of a differential trace pair where the connected pads have non-zero pad-to-die length. The tuning tool appears to be trying to match the total length (including pad-to-die length) of the tuned trace against the routed length (excluding pad-to-die length) of the other trace.
Steps to reproduce
- Choose a footprint with non-zero pad-to-die lengths and place on PCB
- Assign those pads to differential net
- Route any differential track
- Compare total lengths, calculate difference
- Use skew tuning tool on shorter track
- It should show exactly the difference from step 4, but instead the difference is off by the pad-to-die length of the longer trace.
