Auto Placebound of footprints

jmh299

Hello,

I am using PCB Editor 17.4, when I generate a footprint.  I define the placebound top and DFA bound top.  When I place a component on my PCBs it seems that PCB Editor is still auto generating a place bound top....is there any way to disable this?

    To stop the placebound shape automatically created for the DRA symbol without the placebound being present you can follow any one of the below methods:

    1. You can add the drawing-level property (Sym_No_Placebound) in the DRA file before creating their final library symbol.

    To add this property, use the following steps:

    Open the .dra file.
    Select Edit > Properties.
    In the Find By Name field, select Drawing. It will open the Edit Property window.
    Select the Sym_No_Placebound property from the Available Properties list.

    2. In Setup > Design Parameter, there is an Auto create place bound checkbox. If you do not want auto creation of placebound, you can uncheck this checkbox.
