Checking the status of the component placement inside the board outline.

Unfortunately, there is no way to report components which are only placed inside of the board outline, Design Status only reports components that are still in the placement list.  There is a DRC Check that will detect when a component is placed outside the Package Keepin but no summary report for components inside board outline - that would be a great addition to Design Status.

How to display DRC Error when component is placed outside of Package Keepin:

1. In Constraint Manager, select Analysis Mode from Analyze Menu
2. Under Design Category, expand Package and enable Package to Package Keepin
3. DRC marker will be placed along board outline aligned to component
   • Displayed on DRC ERROR CLASS / PACKAGE_TOP or PACKAGE BOTTOM

Hope this helps,

Hi  mcatramb91,

The number of edge connectors will be get added when looking at the DRC errors.

can we use the find by query method..? Like a number of components present in a specific area.

for Eg: components present in the design outline.

This is new to me. I need some help if you're able to.

Cheers
