Maximum Package Height

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.

In the board drawing add a PACKAGE_KEEPOUT shape (top or bottom) and add the properties PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX and or PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MIN to define the keepout checking height(s).

Cadence ONline Support solution 11612438 describes various scenarios and has a board file attached which shows how the keepout and it's heights are used.
