25. Right-click on the Dsn row's cell name, then in the pop-up menu, choose Create - Region. You will get the Create Region window below. 26. Name the Region field BGA-REGION. Click Ok. 27. The window will disappear and show the added region below within the CM. 28. Now, we have the option to manually fill in our desired values in the BGA-REGION row of cells for each column. However, this is suboptimal. We want to manage multiple regions with one change if we want, so instead, like before, we will create a Constraint Set that can be applied to any object. That way, no matter how many objects we apply the constraint set to, we only have to change the constraints once to affect all nets, spacing, and in this case, regions. Note: Constraint Regions can only be created in the Physical and Spacing Constraint Set domains, not in the Electrical domain within Constraint Manager. 29. Let's set the physical constraint set. While still in the Physical section in CM, choose All Layers - The Dsn named cell in the top row of the spreadsheet, right-click it, then choose Create - Physical CSet…. 30. The Physical Constraint Set window will open. 19 www.cadence.com Part 1 of 5
