Also, note that if you have Allegro Studio, it will NOT support areas.

Constraint area.
Do you have on line help? Depending on what version of Allegro you are running,
You will need to add a physical constraint set and a spacing constraint set.
The spacing for your 4 mil requirement and the physical is where you can add
the particular
VIA symbol name. These of course are properties that get attached to the
constraint area shape.
Read my earlier email for the class(layer) it is on.
Then be sure to fill in the Assignment table and Set DRCmodes.
Sam, I agree with Gary, This forum is monitored by everyday workers like
yourself. We get paid
To get all the dots connected properly. I for one do NOT get overtime and must
stay till something is
Completed or released. Consequently, taking the time to run through some of
these more entry level
Questions for you costs us too. I am not grumpy today and happen to feel pretty
good. And for now I do
Have a little free time, And I have an answer for you so I answered. That is
not always the case but I do read
Most of the posts and have picked up some nuggets from time to time. And I have
used this crazy
Software for 14 years or so.
I would advise you to talk these things over with your management to try and
get you some training. But
Ask them when you are NOT grumpy but happy. Ha-ha

Grumpy is ok cause when i ask for help, I get "pay money and get training". A
first grader could probably come up with an answer like that.
Our company does IC's. I build little boards to validate the ICs. The company
pays big money to keep the ic designers busy. I get peanuts during breaks.
I'm at the bottom or last in line when it comes to training.
I'm also grumpy today. So do I set up a room or area?
thanks Sam

If your company is paying a million dollars in support, I would think some of
the other users at your company could help you. You must have more than just
yourself...
Pardon me for getting a little grumpy, but we don't get any of that support
money and after 3 or more years or more of your very basic questions I'd have
thought you'd have realized that you NEED training, not support. Getting
snotty about ot doesn't help your case.

Gary, thanks, I'll ask for money to take training..I thought our
million dollars for support would handle questions.
Thanks

Dave,
I build the Constraint Area into the BGA library part, and assign the
NET_SPACING_TYPE and NET_PHYSICAL_TYPE (= BGA) there also.
That way, it does move with the BGA symbol, even if you modify its
extents.
Also, "sjchar3" (name?), it sounds like you need to talk your employer
into some formal training!
Good luck!

I have always used a Constraint Area for this. And assigned the
appropriate
Spacing and Physical constraint sets. Only trouble is that the
constraint does not follow
The component when moving. You can create a Alternate and lock it in
place that way.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] rooms and areas (beginner with performance)
group: I have a BGA and I would like to route 4 mil trace between pins,
and only a certain via would be used in this location. The rest of the board is
8 mil traces. Do i set up a room, area or region?
Thanks Austin for you earlier reply.
Thanks again.
