OrCAD Capture Constraint Manager PCB Flow

Length: 1 day (8 Hours)

Course Description

This course shows you how to use the Constraint Manager to add routing rules to an OrCAD^® Capture schematic. You transfer the design to Allegro^® where you quickly place and route the board, and recheck the design rules with the Constraint Manager. This course also shows you how to backannotate the OrCAD Capture schematic, and implement an engineering change in the schematic and board layout.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Enable the use of the Constraint Manager on an OrCAD Capture schematic

• Attach properties
• Start a new board layout, place parts and route signals
• Rename reference designators on the board, backannotate the schematic, and archive the project
• Copy and rename the project for engineering changes
• Modify the schematic and board layout
• Analyze routing, modify constraints, and synchronize the schematic and layout
