Skill code to evaluate all components area (Accumulative Place bound area)

Robyd
Hi I am starting a very small and dense design with many 0.5mm BGA's with BBV,About 1000 comps. I am afraid that the total available PCB area for component placement is not enough. Is there out there any Skill that sums up all components place bound area ? So I can compare it to board’s available placement area ? and not end up placement with components left outside the board ;-) BTW : There is a similar function inside the Mentor Expedition. Best Regards Roby

  • Hi Ole

    Yes, Thank you

    will it be hard to alter it to read BRD componets place bound areas and sum it up

    in order to compare to board area availiable for placement .

    following your post i came up with an idea

    during footprint creation adding a custom property to all place bound with their area

    In order to enable reporting and summing with allegro reports

    Do you think this idea can work ? 

    Best Regards,

    Robyd
