OrCAD X Resources

Mask Annular Ring Copper Features This section has a lot of the interesting constraints that engineers can require for their practical designs on the job, such as Flex, Acid Traps (for manufacturers still using acid bath technology) and Negative plane islands oversize. 65 www.cadence.com OrCAD X Constraint Management Guide
