[PCB_FORUM] Re: rooms and areas (beginner with performance)

Areas are generally for constraints.

Rooms are generally for grouping of parts.

Hope this helps.

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!

 

Gary

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.

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.
