acute angle

masamasa
masamasa 2 months ago

hello:

 

is there a way to detect a location with acute angle shapes?

 

the edit property has a setting for the acute angle to avoid having acute angle.

 

but i would like to find the acute angle location on the deisgn that was made by our customer and has many acute angles.

 

regards

masa

    Yes, Setup - Contsraints - Modes - Design and then Acute angle Detection, set an angle andf type and enable the DRC to on.

    thank u for your response, steve.

     

    yes, it works for 90% of the cases.

     

    however, it does not work on the situation where a fillet creates an acute angle and a shape and a padstack intersect each other.

    Okay, interesting question! I'm wondering if you've considered using image processing libraries that can identify edges and calculate angles from vectors? Perhaps a combination of edge detection and the Pythagorean theorem could help you isolate those acute angles. This reminds me of navigating Poptropica islands! Avoiding obstacles is crucial. Have you explored custom filters within your editing software to highlight these regions?
