Adding of board height

C Shiva

 Hi all,

  Is it possible to add board height means thickness in board outline? We can add component height in placebound. One of our customer asking to add board thickness in IDF file. Any way?

Thanks,

Shiva.

     While exporting IDF file, default height 1.6mm will be there. I need to change it as 1.88mm. Any idea?

    The Board Thickness is taken from the cross section thickness. Set this up accurately so the total equals your board thickness. This is also true for the 3D view in 16.3

     Thanks Steve for your quick reply. I can't view the board as 3D since our's is 16.01 version.
