things I miss in 17.4 (found 'em, NVM)

RFinley

3d cross section cut function.   Is that gone?

Also, with SP5, wonder if anyone can't turn off package-to-package DRCs to use DFA rules instead (Alllegro, not Orcad.)

Getting there though.  Definitely pretty nice.

  • The cut function is still there just moved. It's now available under the right click in the main canvas (same as Bend) then look at the Options pane for the settings, The Package to Package DRC's are for overlap issues (where they overlap). The DFA rules usually have a DFA boundary and have a set distance so not sure what you mean here?

    Sweet!  When mating two Samtec connectors, cut it in half and nudge it until it looks right.  Easier than looking up the correct stack height.  It is more accessible this way.  Thanks!

    For using DFA rules, still seeing package-to-package DRCs when place_bound polygons touch.    >Constraints >Analysis Mode gives me the impression they are turned off.
