Paning the board using Keyboard arrow,etch priority,anti etch region during package creation

 Hi,

I have a few queries in OrCAD PCB Designer-16.2

> How can i adjust the Keyboard arrow keys so that i can pan the board w.r.t. mils

> How can i add etch priority for copper pour which is in a same conducting layer-say priority 1, 2 which helps while fabrication for clearance

> How can add a region or shape while creating the Package symbol, so that particular region will not get any copper pour added, where that particular region is used for drilling.

 Thnx.

     Hi Steve,

    1. Wht is the keyword for arrowkeys to be used..can you let me know some sample for say up arrow which gives 10 mils pan towards north

    2. I tried the Raise Priority option earlier itself- wht if, if there are more than 2 shapes in a single layer & priority has to be assigned as 1,2,3

    3.Even after adding route keepout..in the package, while adding etch in the pcb i wont get clearance from the etch on the route keepoout region.I need something like Shape void circle which removes the etch i.e. after adding the etch, but i need adding these region before  etch on the board i.e. during package creation

     

    Thnx
