"NET_CAPACITANCE" attribute

Question

Hi All. 
 What does the "NET_CAPACITANCE" attribute mean in PCB Reports? 
 Is this the net capacitance relative to the Ground Plane?

Thanks.

Hello ID, yes correct. This capacitance reported is relative to an assumed infinitely large ground plane. The calculation accounts for the Cross Section stackup, material, thickness and the geometry of the individual clines for that net. Please note that this indicator assumes that you place an appropriate plane directly underneath and it does not account for gaps, voids or special shapes which you may have there.
