Where to Apply the Constraint Set Component to Component Spacing (Edge and Side Spacing) Package to Package Spacing Use the constraint manager to establish Package to Package Spacing for all your components. For more information, please refer to the Component to Component Spacing Class section earlier in this document. Component Spacing to PCB Features Use the constraint manager to create and apply the following constraints. f Component Body to ɢ All pin pads ɢ All holes ɢ Edge fingers Purpose: The purpose of these constraints is to avoid shorts and challenges in automatic and manual assembly, which can significantly drive up costs (especially for manual testing and assembly). Impact: You also can hurt yield if the boards are too challenging or costly to assemble, even if they are easy to fabricate. Pastemask Use the constraint manager to establish Package to Package Spacing for all your components.
