Setting package Height

Sunnygk

Hello,

 I am first time using the Orcad PCD Editor. I am having problem setting the package height for my first package layout. I followed the instruction by trying to add the height attribute to the placement boundary by going to "Set-up Areas > Package Height" . But when I browse the "Option" on the right hand side of the window the "Min height" and the "Max height" are grayed out. What have I missed?

     If it's same as in Allegro the package height is a property on the Placbound Top area. So, after you have selected "Set-up Areas > Package Height" click on the Placebound Top area and you can fill in the height in the option tab.

    Setup>Areas>Package height then Right click -> Add Rectangle or Add Shape.

    After you've finished drawing rectangle go to Options Tab and set up the min and max value.
    If you have choosen Add Shape right click when finished and click on next. You can set up the min and max value in the OptionsTab.
