Embedding Height Info in Symbols

Goblin59

 Greetings,

What is the incantation to include package height information in CIS schematic capture and Allegro PCB editor?

Thanks,

Ron Scott CID+

    As long as none of your components have a height attribute then the steps I stated will work. You can add the Package Keepout Areas with min and max height values and have them not displayed (or use the opengl transparency for good visualization). The Package-Package DRC's will still appear and your process should be idiot proof. This way you can have multiple heights for one footprint 0805 Cap v 0805 res etc.
