Default Package Height

melview1

I am fine tuning the package height properties in my designs in order to use them in the 3D View in Allegro, as well as export them to our Mechanical Engineer for use in ProE.

I've got most everything working to get the height property from capture to allegro, but I was wondering where in Allegro I can set the default height of components that do not have the height property from capture?  I would like to set these to some exhorbent height, so that when I look at the design in 3D View, I can see what compents need to have their schematic symbol edited to include the proper height property.

 Thanks.

    Setup>Design Parameters, Design tab, Default Symbol Height, this may only be assigned when a part with 0 heights get added to the design, it may not be "dynamic" if you change the default package symbol height after initial placement. The IDF Export has a specific setting to get "a large value" assigned in the output if package heights are 0.

    Thanks oldmouldy, that did the trick!  It did in fact, work dynamically too.  I changed the default value and viewed it in 3D and could see all of the packages that were missing heights.

     Thanks again.
