Creating table in Livedoc

Kevcsc

Hi,

Is there a way to create table in Livedoc? I am looking to make a tranmission line table to define all the differential pair impedance in the PCB. Is there a function for this in Presto yet? 

Thanks

    Live Doc is an advanced PCB Documentation generation tool integrated within OrCAD X Presto. It helps in automating the generation of various PCB documentation such as Fabrication Drawing, Assembly Drawing, Drill Drawing, Drill Chart, Stackup Chart and Stackup Tables, Board Dimensions, etc.

    You can start creating a document/table in Live Doc using a Live Doc template provided which is a collection of PCB views of the board, tables, and charts placed across one or more pages for a design.

    You can perform Impedance Analysis in Presto by going to menu View > Panels > Analysis Workflow and choosing Impedance Workflow here. The impedance presented here is the characteristic impedance of a transmission line.

    The Analysis results have an option to view the impedance results in the Impedance Table. You may explore more about this option in Presto from the below link-

    Let me know if you would want to explore more about this feature.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your response. However, it didn’t fully address my question. I’m looking to have the Impedance table included in the LiveDoc, specifically showing the differential pair trace width, gap, and layer information.

    I found the diff pair trace gap data in OrCAD X PCB Editor under: Export > Quick Report > Diffpair Gap Report,
    but this only provides the gap, not the full set of parameters.

    Since OrCAD contains this information, is there a way to automatically extract and display it in LiveDoc?
