In the constraint manager you can set constraints for various parameters such as: f Outline ɢ Test point to outline ɢ Test point to cut out f Mask and Silkscreen ɢ Test point on solder mask ɢ Test point to silkscreen f Spacing ɢ Test point to test point ɢ Test point to component ɢ Test point to pin pad ɢ Test point to via pad ɢ Test point to non plated hole ɢ Test point under component f Probe ɢ Test point minimum pad size Reason: Proper test point placement ensures accessibility for automated testing equipment and manual probing, facilitating efficient testing and troubleshooting processes. Impact: Improves testability, reduces testing time, and enhances the overall quality assurance process for the PCB. Well-placed test points can significantly reduce debugging time and improve manufacturing yield. 3D Constraints Purpose: 3D constraints have become a mandatory requirement in the modern PCB design and assembly process.
