[PCB_FORUM] Re: Allegro 15.5 Auto Place

Les,

Here is kinda what I would do..

Assuming netlist and all symbols built.

Place > Quickplace

Then you can manually decide Top or Bottom parts.
Delete the back side, tiny parts, etc.

Move large top parts into the board.

Run Quickplace again with bottom checked.

Move back side parts into board outline.

If all parts are built and present, you can get a
feel for a medium large board (4000 Total part) in
about 30-45 min.

With a BOM and no netlist. I draw boxes with a line
and copy them around. Real rough idea.

Hi All:

Anyone out there play with or use Auto Place.

I would like to use it to place all components on
the board, just to see if all of the components
will physically fit. 
I do not currently care if it can be routed.

It would be nice to have quick place option
to place inside the place keepin.

Thanks,
Les
