conductor text to dynamic shape void control

saad

Hi,

Anyone tried to control text (conductor layer) void in a dynamic shape via skill or any trick?

Allegro does not generate the text voids evenly on upper and lower side of the text. Lower void spacing is always more than the upper one. Cadence says it is becuase of the lower case characters like 'y' 'j' etc. But even if only Upper case charactes are used the behaviour is the same.

Regards Saad.

    As far as I know there is not a way to control this voiding. I have in the past exported the text as a vertorised IPF plot and read this back into the database. This process converts the text into lines and therefore provides a more even void. The issue with this is obvoiusly editting the text in the future, you need to do it all over again...

     IMO,  the method Keith uses is the best for controlling the voiding.

    Vectorized IPF import did what i wanted besides the lengthy procedure. Skill automization looks tricky too.

    Anyway i appreciate your help very much.
