Package to Package spacing

My footprint's are created so the part outline is created on the PLACE_BOUND layer. We create this so the correct outline is used for IDF file generation.

This layer is also used by the package to package DRC. I have not found a way to change the preset value from "0" package to package clearance. Since this places the footprints next to each other then we cannot build the

board. Is there any way around that ?

Thanks but tried that and unfortunately the outlines are not the same. The courtyard outline includes the pads.

I agree, there is no working distance DRC between Placement boundary shapes in Orcad Pro or Allegro. About the only thing you can do to it is disable it.

I will travel to the ends of the earth to avoid having libraries with different courtyard dimensions for about 600+ footprints. Yuck.

So, I have Allegro PA-3100 for DFA rules.
