[PCB_FORUM] Passing physical and spacing constraints from Orcad to Allegro

Hi,

 

We have just gotten our engineers trained to add NET_PHYSICAL_TYPE and
NET_SPACING_TYPE properties (as well as prop dly, rel prop dly, etc.) to
their Orcad schematics.  It has been very helpful in implementing Part
68 rules in our designs, among other things.

 

Now that we are moving to allegro version 16.x, we are wondering if
NET_PHYSICAL_TYPE and NET_SPACING_TYPE properties will continue to be
supported.  It does appear that an existing design has mapped properly
to the new Constraint manager physical and spacing heirarchies.

 

Orcad has the option of adding an ECSET at the schematic level, but not
a PhysicalCSET or SpacingCSET.

 

I would like to know if other users who have physical and spacing
constraints coming from their Orcad schematics are doing anything
different in light of the new Constraint Manager System in version 16.x

 

Thanks,

Chris
