DRC error after EMI shield placement

HotrodJEB over 4 years ago

I am still learning here so, please be patience with me.

I had no DRC errors until I placed the EMI shield. I believe the issue is related to the height of the shield.

I did not create this component so, how do I change the component height?

Would I also need to set a min and max component height?

The shield will more than likely have a shape on PLACE_BOUND_TOP or _BOTTOM so try Setup - Areas - Package Height (or Outline - Package Height if you have an OrCAD License) then select the shape and look at the Options pane.
