Depth routing

Hi

Just wondering if OrCAD PCB has a designated method of assigning depth routed area on PCB Layouts.

I have 3mm thick PCB of which i would like to 1.5mm depth routed from top side. This depth routed area is a circular region.

    I don't think there's much in Allegro that can help you if a feature is not specified in the ODB++/IPC2581 standard.

    You will need to specify this on a fabrication drawing.  Add an artwork layer with text that specifies what you are trying to request for the drawn polygon.

    It will be very easy for your fabricator to miss this detail if you are not detailed/specific enough on the fab drawing.
