Maximum Package Height

BuddSw

I am using Allegro PCB Editor 16.3.  Although I have used this product for a while I've never needed to add Maximum Package Height as something to flag using DRC.  I've looked in the documentation and the only constraint-setting information I can find is for spacing/width/pairing type stuff.  Where can I find the documentation to set up maximum height constraints?  I know I can manually check each package on the board for it's Max Height property that is far from ideal.

 I will be grateful for any insight that can be given.

    Your part needs to have a Package Boundary, on Package Geometry / Place Bound Top, Setup>Areas>Package Boundary, then use Setup>Areas>Package Height, select the Package Boundary and assign the Maximum Height in the Options tab. Right-click>Done to finish. (Also see algrolibdev.pdf in the doc\algrolibdev directory of the installation, page 42 for Defining Symbol Heights)
