OrCAD - Tip of the Week: Suppress a DRC warning for selective parts

DesignTech
DesignTech over 3 years ago

It is a common situation where a particular DRC warning is relevant for one part of the design while it needs to be ignored for some other part.

 

In situations like this, suppressing a warning for the entire design will be problematic as valid warnings will get missed, while running it for the entire design will give you a lot of redundant warnings.

 

To solve this, Capture allows you to selectively waive a DRC warning for a part. You just need to right-click on that instance of the DRC marker to suppress it. Suppressing this instance will still allow the same DRC to be flagged on other parts of the design.

    As an orcad user for many years  I have used this option many times however it would be useful to have a comment on the waive option to indicate why this drc was waived
