    Hi DavidJHutchins, Thankyou for the reply, OrCad 17.4  professional is providing DFA spread sheet externally, Not with the PCB editor tool. whether we can assign the DFA values externally to the editor ?

    Thanks and regards,

    Jithindev MK

    The problem is DFA is not part of Orcad. 

    You won't be able import and run DFA DRCs without a base Allegro license.
