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.

    Dear  BuddSW ,

    This may not be the correct procedure but its simple way I follow  when I have a height restriction in some area during placement  . Draw package keepout in the area where you have a height restriction & assign the height limit for that shape( say 100mils) , when you view this in 3D veiw you will notice if any part placed which height is more than 100mil will protrude  out as shown in image, but the issue here is you get CC error for all part placed inside that keepout
