Siri 9 months ago

Hello,

I was trying to create a void in the shape symbol by using manual voids in allegro pcb editor but I try to save it gives me the below error

Is there any other way that I can add a void?

    Could you please provide a  snippet or an example of the shape symbol where you are attempting to create a void, so I can better understand the context and offer a more accurate solution?

    Hi Siri,

    I wanted to let you know that currently, it's not possible to add voids to the shapes of a shape symbol. However, I've found that there's an existing Cadence Change Request (CCR) that aims to enhance the tool to support this functionality.

    While we can't implement this feature at the moment, and it will be taken into account for consideration in the future releases.
