Hi guys,

What am I missing here?

I haven't had to create an area that allows a limited package height for a 
while, and it's not working as I expect.

I have a Package Keepout/Bottom circular shape that I want to disallow parts 
that are taller than 50 mils. I put the property "Package_Height_Max = 50 mil" 
on the shape, but a part with a Package Height of 37.4 mils still get a DRC 
error:

Anyone know what I'm missing here (i.e. doing wrong)?

Thanks for any help.
