Doesn't the "VARIANT MANAGER" handle this kind of thing? I thought there were provisions for substitutions as well as de-pop... but I'm still a Cadence newbie and can't speak from experience. I would guess you'd need a single footprint that was valid for both part numbers; a 'worst of both'. -Chris Kevin McCowan <kmccowan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx @ VALSMTP cc: Sent by: @VALSMTP Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: double stacked components 09/15/2004 02:33 PM Please respond to icu-pcb-forum I try to build a version that would cover both components at the same time so this problem doesn't happen. Otherwise you just need to ignore the drcs as "part of your job". This is an ongoing problem that I believe has never been addressed in the industry. I wonder why?
